No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aimed to compare the strength and duration of pain relief, quality of life and analgesic consumption between patients who undergo conventional thermal radiofrequency vs patients who undergo chemical neurolysis on genicular nerves by alcohol in chronic knee osteoarthritis pain.

Conditions

  • Thermal Radiofrequency Neurolysis
  • Alcoholic Neurolysis
  • Genicular Nerves
  • Treatment
  • Chronic Knee Pain
  • Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis

Interventions

OTHER

Thermal Radiofrequency Neurolysis

Patients received C-arm guided neurolysis of superior medial \[SM\], superior lateral \[SL\], and inferior medial \[IM\] genicular nerves by thermal radiofrequency.

OTHER

Alcoholic Neurolysis

Patients received C-arm guided injection of each of the three genicular nerves with 1 ml of a solution containing 70% alcohol in 0.25% lidocaine.
