Lumbar radiofrequency ablation: Treats the facet joints (areas where bones are connected to the spine) in the lower back Cervical radiofrequency ablation: Treats the cervical (neck) facet joints to manage neck pain and headaches You might hear about RFA being used for other types of treatments ...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a procedure using heat to interrupt pain signals in spinal nerves, is an emerging treatment option for chronic low back pain. Its clinical efficacy has not yet been established. To determine the efficacy of RFA for chronic low back pain associated with lumbar ...
The control group was treated with nerve block of spinal never for low back pain. The treatment group was treated with ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of spinal never for low back pain. VAS score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score were recorded before treatment and after 24 h,...
The purpose of radiofrequency (RF) rhizotomy, also known as RF neurotomy or ablation, is to reduce or eliminate facet joint pain (arthritis) and related symptoms in the neck, mid back or low back. The goal of the procedure is to interrupt communication of pain between a specific medial ner...

Spine pain is a major cause of disability for which conservative treatment strategies are not universally effective. Radio-frequency ablation of nerves supplying the zygapophysial joints should be considered in selected patients for whom routine treatments do not provide acceptable relief. Following a ...
