Patients with LFSS who had undergone lumbar DRG\u2010PRF treatment were evaluated according to the radiological grade of stenosis: Grades 1, 2, and 3. Severity of pain, presence of neuropathic pain, and functional status were assessed using a numerical rating scale (NRS), the Douleur Neuropathique en 4 (DN4) Questionnaire, and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at baseline, first, and third months. The groups by grade consisted of 18, 22, and 23 patients, respectively, for Grades 1, 2, and 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      NRS scores are similar at baseline and first month, but higher in Group 3 than in Groups 1 and 2 at the third month (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.010,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04). Similarly, DN4 scores are similar at baseline and first month, but higher in Group 3 than in Group 1 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.017). ODI scores and weekly analgesic intake at baseline, first, and third months are similar.

The ratios of meaningful pain relief were 72.2%, 68.2%, and 69.6% at the first month, and 50.0%, 63.6%, and 43.5% at the third month for Grades 1, 2, and 3 groups, respectively, without significant differences at the first and third months (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The DRG\u2010PRF treatment is effective for pain and functional disability in LFSS in all grades, although pain scores remained higher in Grade 3 stenosis at the third month.
