Evolution and Mode of Action of Pulsed Radiofrequency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: PRF was initially regarded as a method of blocking nociceptive stimuli that is less destructive than a thermolesion. Since the introduction of the intra-articular application this concept has changed. PRF is now thought to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the immune system, acting on the nociceptive process itself instead of on the afferent innervation.

Background and aims: Using methods such as pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and nerve blocks are among the methods used in pain clinics to treat facet-originating low back pain. This study compares two methods of pulsed radiofrequency and facet joint block (FJB)regarding pain recovery and improving disability of patients suffering from facet-originating low back pain. Material and Method: 50 pat...
متن کاملAcute differential modulation of synaptic transmission and cell survival during exposure to pulsed and continuous radiofrequency energy.
Pulsed radiofrequency, in which short bursts of radiofrequency energy are applied to nervous tissue, has been recently described as an alternative technique devoid of nerve injury, a subsequent side effect of thermal lesions created by continuous radiofrequency lesioning. Yet the mechanism of this effect remains unclear. In this study we compared the acute effects of pulsed versus continuous ra...
متن کاملPulsed and continuous radiofrequency current adjacent to the cervical dorsal root ganglion of the rat induces late cellular activity in the dorsal horn.
BACKGROUND Pulsed radiofrequency treatment has recently been described as a non-neurodestructive or minimally neurodestructive alternative to radiofrequency heat lesions. In clinical practice long-lasting results of pulsed radiofrequency treatment adjacent to the cervical dorsal root ganglion for the management of chronic radicular spinal pain have been reported without neurologic complications...
متن کاملEvolution of microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy weldment with TIG and Pulsed TIG process
Magnesium alloys are very attractive materials owing to their properties of low density, high specific strength and stiffness, good castability, and weldability. AZ31 magnesium alloys in terms of weldability has better situation than the other, so it has more applications than other magnesium alloys. In this study, TIG and pulsed TIG welding method was used to welding the AZ31 alloy and finally...
