Abstract

Radiofrequency ablation is the use of radio waves to create a thermal lesion or isotherm. This process can be used to treat a variety of chronic pain conditions such as facet joint pain, shoulder and knee pain, and trigeminal neuralgia, by targeting the responsible sensory nerve and disrupting pain transmission. It can be performed by continuous, pulsed or cooled application. The technique is performed under fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance to identify the correct target before the current is applied, making it a minimally invasive procedure that is well tolerated. In appropriately selected candidates it can significantly improve pain, function and result in a better quality of life.
