Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been around for the last four decades and is being used with increasing frequency to address recalcitrant axial spine and more recently treatment-resistant knee pain. Evidence for various treatment sites is variable and ongoing, but the majority of research suggests ...
Arthritic pain in the large joints, like your knees, hips, or shoulders Cancer pain Facial pain caused bytrigeminal neuralgia Sometimes the procedure has a name associated to the type of pain that it treats, such as: Lumbar radiofrequency ablation: Treats the facet joints (areas where bones ar...
Radiofrequency ablation is a back pain treatment alternative to surgery for individuals who haven't found relief from methods like physical therapy.
We compared the effectiveness of mechanical debridement (MD) and bipolar radiofrequency chondroplasty (RF) with regard to clinical outcome, rate of revision, and progression of knee osteoarthritis. Methods Sixty patients with MRI-detected grade III cartilage lesions on the medial femoral condyle were ...
The literature on application of prolonged PRF of genicular nerves of knee for osteoarthritis of knee is nil. This study will provide level IV evidence tha... A Ahmed 被引量: 1发表: 2016年 Effectiveness of Radiofrequency Ablation of the Genicular Nerves of the Knee for the Management of Intr...
In this cadaveric study, we aimed to investigate the needle tip position and its proximity to the articular branch of the tibial nerve (ABTN) during an iPACK-targeted radiofrequency procedure. Materials and Methods: An ultrasound-guided iPACK block was performed on 20 knees o...
Recently, cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) has emerged as a novel treatment option for alleviating KOA-related pain by temporarily disabling pain-transmitting nerves. This study evaluated the short-term effects of CRFA on pain relief and walking ability in KOA patients, with a specific focus ...
The radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered a valid, minimally invasive treatment modality for the management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of RFA with that of commonly used intra-articular injections for the persistent knee pain due...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the radiofrequency (RF) injury effect on cartilage in the different settings that are mostly used in clinical work under rigidly controlled laboratory conditions. Methods Twelve fresh porcine knees were used in our study. Five treatment areas were ...
