Posterior Tibial Nerve PRF for Diabetic Neuropathic Pain

NCT06463015 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 55

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided posterior tibial nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PTN PRF) in the treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPNP) refractory to conservative treatments. For this evaluation, the visual analog scale (VAS), PainDETECT neuropathic pain scores, and Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS) will be used before and after the PTN PRF.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Neuropathies, Painful
  • Diabetic Neuropathy Peripheral

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ultrasound-guided posterior tibial nerve pulsed radiofrequency

The posterior tibial nerve (PTN) was identified with a 5-12 MHz linear ultrasonography (US) probe at the level of the medial malleolus, where it runs posterior to the posterior tibial artery. Using the in-plane technique, a 22-gauge, 10-cm radiofrequency cannula was inserted under US guidance and advanced until the tip was adjacent to the nerve. Pulse radiofrequency was applied at 42°C for 240 s with a pulse width of 20 ms
