Brief summary (from the registry)
The main aim of this study is to identify factors that may be associated with a better or worse response to interventional pain management therapies for the treatment of chronic lumbar pain in adult patients. If several predictive factors are to be identified, a predictive model will be developed.

Eligibility criteria
Show eligibility criteria (verbatim from the registry)
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients older than 18 years old with chronic lumbar pain to whom one of the following interventional pain management techniques has been indicated: * Radiofrequency lumbar facet joint injection * Radiofrequency lumbar facet joint denervation * Lumbar epidural corticosteroid injection * Caudal epidural corticosteroid injection * Pulsed radiofrequency of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion * Dorsal root ganglion injection Exclusion Criteria: * Patients that have not undergone the interventional pain management technique. The interventional pain management technique is considered not performed if it is not done after a twelve month period after recruitment. * Patients who are not willing to participate. * Patients of whom it is impossible to obtain data of response. * Patients who undergo low back surgery while they are in the study. * Patients who suffer from an intercurrent disease that may interfere with the evaluation of chronic lumbar pain. * Patients who suffer from myofascial pain syndromes. * Patients who undergo pulsed radiofrequency denervation for the treatment of sacroiliac joint syndrome.
