Using standardized outcome measures, pain intensity, pain relief, quality of life, and satisfaction with treatment were assessed by an independent investigator. The TREND statement for reporting non\u2010randomized evaluations was applied.

Those differences exceeded the thresholds of the minimal clinically important difference. A higher percentage of patients free of pain was observed in the group of patients treated by MVD, with significant differences at the initial postoperative period (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and 6\u2009months (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02), 1\u2009year (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), and 2\u2009years (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04) after the procedure. Also, a higher risk of pain recurrence was observed in the RFR and SRS groups (HR 3.15, 95% CI 1.33\u20137.46; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009; and HR 4.26, 95% CI 1.77\u201310.2; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001, respectively) compared to the MVD group.
