Radiofrequency ablationis a treatment where radio waves are used to create heat and destroy a part of a nerve. This technique is most commonly used to treat pain that is originating in the facet joints of the spine. The procedure is used to destroy the end of the small nerves that provide...
It is not commonly located in the spine (10%) and when it presents at this site it is more frequently found in the lumbar region (59%). It usually involves the posterior elements of the vertebra but it can also arise from the vertebral body. Despite its small size, this tumor is ...
Once the RFA lesion is created, the pain-transmitting ability of the nerve fibers is lost and pain signals from the source (facet or sacroiliac joint) do not reach the brain. The effects of RFA may last for a few months to years, after which the nerve usually regenerates, and the pain...
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a viable option for chronic pain of many kinds. This procedure can be used to treat a variety of types of conditions throughout the body. Neck Pain Back Pain Spondylolysis (arthritis of the spine) Sacroiliitis ...
To our knowledge, this is the first case of primary intraosseous spinal glomus tumor successfully treated by percutaneous CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA). 展开 关键词: Radiofrequency ablation Glomus tumor Intraosseous tumor Thoracic spine Imaging ...
Moreover, HIPK2-null mice are characterized by head and snout crushed, a curvature of the spine, and distortion of the front and rear legs (data not shown). All these findings add further insights into the role of Hipk2 in the central nervous system (CNS). Previously research carried out...
Targeted techniques for Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCF) and metastic spinal tumors. Learn the demographics, diagnoses and most current clinical evidence regarding minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of pathologic vertebral fractures and spine tumor ablation. ...
In September 2023, Medtronic received FDA clearance for the OsteoCool™ 2.0 bone tumor ablation system, enabling multiInlevel spine tumor ablations with increased flexibility and efficiency. In June 2023, Boston Scientific Corporation announced an agreement to acquire Silk Road Medical, Inc., expandi...
“External-beam radiation cannot prevent vertebral collapse; it creates sclerosis of the bone,” Gofeld said. “[With RFA] you can reduce the pain and halt the spread of disease in the spine, and then deliver glue in the same procedure to reinforce the vertebra and prevent imminent fracture...
