Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is a new and minimally invasive treatment for spinal disc-related chronic low back pain. This sort of disc pain is believed to be occurred by nerve fibers which grow at their normal location in the layers which are outside of the disc, going into the disc interior. This is associated to the breakdown (Degeneration) of the hard outer layers (Annulus) of the disc. The injury is also behind the pain in the disc, forcing material in the center (Nucleus) of the disc to go into outer layers of the disc. This material produces irritation for the outer layers, where the nerves exist and it causes pain.
