Pulsed radiofrequency for occipital neuralgia.
BACKGROUND The clinical application of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) by interventional pain physicians for a variety of chronic pain syndromes, including occipital neuralgia, is growing. As a minimally invasive percutaneous technique with none to minimal neurodestruction and a favorable side effect profile, use of PRF as an interventional neuromodulatory chronic pain treatment is appealing.

متن کاملultrasound-guided greater occipital nerve blocks and pulsed radiofrequency ablation for diagnosis and treatment of occipital neuralgia
occipital neuralgia is a condition manifested by chronic occipital headaches and is thought to be caused by irritation or trauma to the greater occipital nerve (gon). treatment for occipital neuralgia includes medications, nerve blocks, and pulsed radiofrequency ablation (prfa). landmark-guided gon blocks are the mainstay in both the diagnosis and treatment of occipital neuralgia. ultrasound is...
متن کاملPulsed Radiofrequency Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia
BACKGROUND Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment is defined as the delivery of short pulses of radiofrequency via a needle tip, which does not result in an actual thermal lesions. There are mixed views regarding the use of PRF for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). In our opinion, one of the main reasons for the contrasting views is the insufficient PRF dose employed in previous studies. In a recent st...
