No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of two treatments-genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation and pulsed radiofrequency-in reducing pain and improving function in osteoarthritis patients. These techniques, used after diagnostic nerve blocks, aim to provide long-lasting pain relief. Despite both being found effective, no clear consensus exists on which method is superior. The study seeks to compare these techniques and contribute new insights to the existing literature.

Conditions

PROCEDURE

Genicular nerve pulse radiofrequency
