Spinal Stenosis with only axial pain

Hello all: I have a few patients like this. Severe lumbar spinal stenosis. No claudication at all. Failed RF. Would you send someone like this for a decompression if they have failed an ESI? Say the axial pain is definitely worse with walking versus if it is not, does that make a difference to you on this issue? Any surgical literature out there regarding decompression outcomes in this patient population? Thanks in advance.
