The authors decided to write a letter to the editor to bring an actual and improving technique option to discuss between medical researchers. They show a success case of an ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation of the lumborum rami medialis, which normally is performed by fluoroscopy, with more costs to the system and radiation exposure to the patient. So, the importance of this letter is showing the good result of US technique which could be an excellent alternative treatment option.
