Radiofrequency ablationRadiofrequency therapyPain therapyNeurolysisPurpose of ReviewChronic pain of the lower extremity remains challenging to manage. Radiofrequency ablation procedure applies heat to nerve fibers with the goal of mitigating chronic pain conditions of the knee. However, the clinical efficacy...
This procedure is most commonly used to treat chronic pain and conditions such as arthritis of the spine (spondylosis) and sacroilitis. It is also used to treat neck, back, knee, pelvic and peripheral nerve pain. The benefits of radiofrequency ablation include: avoiding surgery, immediate pain...
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a proven means of interrupting pain signals, such as those coming from irritated facet joints in the spine, genicular nerves in the knee, and femoral and obturator nerves in the hip. RFA is designed to provide long-lasting pain relief 1,2,3 This is a mi...
Effectiveness of Radiofrequency Ablation of the Genicular Nerves of the Knee for the Management of Intractable Pain from Knee Osteoarthritis BACKGROUND: Recently, several studies suggested that radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the genicular nerves is a safe and effective therapeutic procedure for intractab...

Regarding knee joint arthroscopy, no difference were found in temperature generation between standard radiofrequency ablation and plasma ablation [23]. The current study has several points of strength. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first study assessing intra-articular temperature variations ...
