چکیده
Corresponding author: [email protected] Conflict of interest: Dr. R Lifford and A Ghazi Nil Dr. E Cosman Jr Scientific Director at Cosman Medical Background: Radicular pain has been successfully treated with pulsed RF to dorsal root ganglia [1]. A transforaminal approach is most commonly used, but may be unsuccessful in cases with abnormal anatomy or implanted metalwork. In these situations, an inerlaminar approach may be required. A recent case report [2] identified the successful treatment of lumbar radicular pain in a cancer patient using a guidable radiofrequency injection electrode with a metallic coil active tip and embedded temperature sensor.
