Pulsed Radiofrequency, Water-Cooled Radiofrequency, and Cryoneurolysis
Sluijter et al.8 assumed that, because the tissue temperature was kept below the thermal destructive range, thermal tissue injury was avoided. By using mathematical calculations, they further showed that the high-density electrical currents generated at the electrode tip stressed the cellular membranes and biomolecules and caused altered cell function, leading to cell injury. Later investigator...

signals via a pathway involving c-Fos, which indicates the inhibition of excitatory C fibers and long-term depression. It has also been suggested to alter gene expression in neurons by means of neuromodulation. Another popular theory is the stimulation of the serotonergic and noradrenergic system and induction of descending pathways. In our clinical practice, we introduce the RF cannula between...
متن کاملPulsed 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. Occip...
متن کاملComparison between bipolar pulsed radiofrequency and monopolar pulsed radiofrequency in chronic lumbosacral radicular pain
BACKGROUND Chronic lumbosacral radicular pain is a challenging medical problem with respect to therapeutic management. Many patients with lumbosacral radicular pain complain of persistent leg pain after transforaminal epidural steroid injection. Nowadays, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) stimulation on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is widely used for controlling lumbosacral radicular pain. METHOD...
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...
