The innervating nerve comes mostly from contralateral facial nerve branches, few from ipsilateral facial nerve due to tumor ablation, and from ipsilateral motor branch to masseter or spinal accessory nerve due to Mobius syndrome. The author has used a short nerve graft (10 to 15 cm) to cross t...
Despite numerous surgical and non-surgical treatments, including oral analgesics, local radiofrequency ablation, and surgical excision, proposed for painful neuromas, these interventions have not completely resolved this clinical challenge yet, as evidenced by high failure rate or reoccurrence rate9,10. ...
Pain originating in the facet joint accounts for an estimated 15%–45% of cases of low back pain. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the medial branch nerves (MBN) is used in refractory cases. However, very few studies have compared the clinical outcomes of cooled versus conventional/traditional...
Conclusions:Repeated pulsed and continuous radiofrequency ablation of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion/segmental nerve shows promise to be a safe and effective long-term palliative management for lumbosacral radicular pain in some patients. 展开
, the small ablation area produced by the single needle, which was used in RF treatment in the present study, the mild destruction in case of poor alignment, and the more limited segments being affected may have resulted in a less effective treatment with a low and mild complication rate. ...
pathological outcome. A compromised vascular-neural barrier around the affected area could lead to plasma extravasation [208], allowing IgG to gain access to the damaged site to interact with these antigens. Immune therapies, such as B cell ablation or plasmapheresis, may represent a means to ...
“gold standard” for repair/reconstruction of ablation-type PNIs [1,2,6] is neurorrhaphy of an ablated segment of several smaller diametersensorynerves taken from less critical locations of the host. Such autografts are cabled in parallel when the diameter of the injured nerve is greater than...

While suggestive of VBP, these clinical features are nonspecific and require correlating radiographic findings for an accurate diagnosis. Basivertebral nerve ablation is targeted to treat lower back pain consistent with Modic changes (MC). Modic changes represent an intraosseous source of pain similar ...
However, in contrast to previous findings on prostate cancer mouse models [69], destroying adrenergic nerves before tumor inoculation neither inhibited adrenergic neuritogenesis nor blocked OSCC growth, but ablation of sensory nerves prevented these outcomes. This suggests that adrenergic neuritogenesis does...
