Abstract
Objective: This review aimed to explore the current applications of radiofrequency (RF) therapy in managing chronic knee pain and to compare different treatment strategies.
Methods: A comprehensive review of recent literature was conducted, concentrating on variations in target selection, guidance techniques, and treatment parameters that influence therapeutic outcomes.
Results: RF therapy is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for chronic knee pain, providing faster recovery compared with traditional interventions. However, differences in treatment options can lead to significant variability in the efficacy and safety.
Conclusion: A thorough understanding of the distinct characteristics of various RF therapy strategies is required for optimizing chronic knee pain management. Future research should emphasize systematic evaluation of these approaches to refine clinical practice and establish evidence-based pain management protocols.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Pain Research is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that welcomes laboratory and clinical findings in the fields of pain research and the prevention and management of pain. Original research, reviews, symposium reports, hypothesis formation and commentaries are all considered for publication. Additionally, the journal now welcomes the submission of pain-policy-related editorials and commentaries, particularly in regard to ethical, regulatory, forensic, and other legal issues in pain medicine, and to the education of pain practitioners and researchers.
