Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also known as rhizotomy, is one of the frequently used modalities in interventional pain management. This nonsurgical procedure delivers radiofrequency waves to the targeted nerves to interrupt transmission of nociceptive signals from the peripheral tissues to the central nervous system, thereby reducing pain perception. Recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of RFA treatment as an effective interventional pain management technique to treat a variety of acute and chronic pain conditions including facial pain, headaches, postmastectomy, musculoskeletal, and major joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder, sacroiliac), and cancer pain. As more certified registered nurse anesthetists are involved in pain management, it is important to be familiar with current nonsurgical pain interventions. This journal course describes the unique mechanism of action of radiofrequency for pain modulation and provides emerging evidence to support its applications in both acute and chronic pain management.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1931 and located in Park Ridge, Ill., the AANA is the professional organization for more than 90 percent of the nation’s nurse anesthetists. As advanced practice nurses, CRNAs administer approximately 32 million anesthetics in the United States each year. CRNAs practice in every setting where anesthesia is available and are the sole anesthesia providers in more than two-thirds of all rural hospitals. They administer every type of anesthetic, and provide care for every type of surgery or procedure, from open heart to cataract to pain management.
