2023年5月23日 · Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment for chronic pain due to arthritis or other joint issues. This procedure targets the nerves that are sending pain signals from the joints and is a mainstay of treatment for back pain. It can produce long-lasting relief by shutting off the communication between the nerves and the pain processing center in ...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure that uses heat to destroy tissue. For pain management involving joints, RFA heats a nerve, which stops or reduces pain signals to your brain.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed at a doctor’s office or a hospital. Patients usually return home the same day. A few precautions may be followed before and after the treatment procedure.

2024年10月7日 · Radiofrequency ablation (or RFA) is a procedure that can ease chronic pain for some people. The procedure uses radio waves that produce electrical currents. These currents heat and kill a small,...

2023年8月2日 · Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that can help provide relief for people with chronic pain. Also known as rhizotomy, the procedure involves using electric currents produced by radiofrequency waves to destroy certain nerves. The goal is to block or reduce pain signals to the brain.

2023年6月12日 · PRF has been used to treat the dorsal root ganglion at all spinal levels in multiple pain syndromes, including radicular pain, discogenic pain, facetogenic pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, post-amputation pain, and post inguinal herniorrhaphy pain.

2023年12月11日 · Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also known as radiofrequency neurotomy or radiofrequency rhizotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses localized heat generated by radiofrequency waves to target specific tissues within the body.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called radiofrequency neurotomy is a procedure that involves heating a part of a pain-transmitting nerve with a radiofrequency needle to create a heat lesion. This resulting lesion prevents the nerve from sending pain signals to the brain.

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.

The spinal radiofrequency ablation procedure is performed with sterile technique in a procedure room setting using fluoroscopy both for guidance of needle placement, as well as to safely visualize the spinal anatomy. A ground electrode pad is placed on the patient for the procedure as part of our safety protocols.
