Objective Our aim is to investigate the efficacy and safety of TransDiscal Biacuplasty. Summary of Background Data Chronic discogenic pain is one of the leading causes of low back pain however the condition is not helped by most non-invasive methods. The results of major surgical operations for these patients are unsatisfactory. Recently attention has shifted to disk heating methods for treatment. TransDiscal Biacuplasty is one of the minimally invasive treatment methods. The method was developed as an alternative to spinal surgical practices and Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy for treatment of patients with chronic discogenic pain. Methods The candidates for this study were patients with chronic discogenic pain that did not respond to conservative treatment. The main criteria for inclusion were the existence of axial low back pain present for 6 months disc degeneration or internal disc disruption at a minimum of one level and maximum of two levels in MR
