Pulsed Radiofrequency, Water-Cooled Radiofrequency, and Cryoneurolysis
Sluijter et al.8 assumed that, because the tissue temperature was kept below the thermal destructive range, thermal tissue injury was avoided. By using mathematical calculations, they further showed that the high-density electrical currents generated at the electrode tip stressed the cellular membranes and biomolecules and caused altered cell function, leading to cell injury. Later investigator...
متن کاملPulsed Radiofrequency and Coccygodynia.
signals via a pathway involving c-Fos, which indicates the inhibition of excitatory C fibers and long-term depression. It has also been suggested to alter gene expression in neurons by means of neuromodulation. Another popular theory is the stimulation of the serotonergic and noradrenergic system and induction of descending pathways. In our clinical practice, we introduce the RF cannula between...
متن کاملAuditory response to pulsed radiofrequency energy.
The human auditory response to pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy, commonly called RF hearing, is a well established phenomenon. RF induced sounds can be characterized as low intensity sounds because, in general, a quiet environment is required for the auditory response. The sound is similar to other common sounds such as a click, buzz, hiss, knock, or chirp. Effective radiofrequencies range ...
متن کاملComparison between bipolar pulsed radiofrequency and monopolar pulsed radiofrequency in chronic lumbosacral radicular pain
BACKGROUND Chronic lumbosacral radicular pain is a challenging medical problem with respect to therapeutic management. Many patients with lumbosacral radicular pain complain of persistent leg pain after transforaminal epidural steroid injection. Nowadays, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) stimulation on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is widely used for controlling lumbosacral radicular pain. METHOD...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes in axons following exposure to pulsed radiofrequency fields.
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) fields applied by an electrode to neural structures, such as the peripheral sensory nociceptor axons and dorsal root ganglion, are clinically effective in reducing pain and other neuropathic syndromes. However, a full understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which this occurs has not yet been clarified. In this study, PRF is applied to the afferent axons of the ...
