Objectives: Palmoplantar warts are a challenge to treat. Standard treatment methods include electrocautery, radiofrequency ablation and cryosurgery, carbon dioxide laser, Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet which ablative, invasive, have downtime. Non-ablative lasers like pulsed dye laser long-pulsed Neodymium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd: YAG) been tried earlier for the of overcome these defi...

2014 The hydride (or deuteride) is obtained in the ground state by radiofrequency discharge in a mixture of H2 (or D2) and metal vapor at a total pressure of about 10-2 torr. A selective excitation of the A 203A03/2,1/2 rotational levels is obtained by a pulsed dye laser. Lifetimes are obtained by sampling the fluorescent decay : 03C4 ~ 70 ns. Electric radiofrequency resonances between the ~-do...

BACKGROUND The thermal and electrical effects of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) for pain relief can be controlled by modifying the characteristics of the RF pulses applied. Our goal was to evaluate the influence of such modifications on the thermal and electric performance in tissue. METHODS A computational model was developed to compare the temperature and electric field time courses in tissue ...

Submental fat (SMF) accumulation is a cosmetically distressing concern for which there have been recent advances in minimally invasive and noninvasive therapeutic options. In this article, we review the newest treatments available for SMF, including laser-assisted lipolysis (LAL), radiofrequency (RF)-assisted lipolysis, deoxycholic acid (DCA), and noninvasive devices. These treatments provide a...

Laser and laser-like assisted facial rejuvenation has become very popular during the last decade. Although a myriad of techniques are available, such approaches can be divided into four basic approaches. There are those that (i) ablate the epidermis, cause dermal wounding, and provide a significant thermal effect (CO(2) lasers); (ii) ablate the epidermis, cause dermal wounding, and minimal ther...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We studied the long-term efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency treatment (PRF) on the saphenous nerve in 115 patients with chronic knee pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS 115 patients with chronic knee pain were investigated in a period of 22~months retrospectively. All patients had pulsed radiofrequency to the saphenous nerve. The mean age was 59 (range, 51-67). All patients we...

Objective. To report our successful treatment of acute symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By the use of stellate ganglion block (SGB) and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) to the stellate ganglion(SG) , sequentially. Background. A 48-year-old male a victim of armed robbery , who presented with extreme symptoms consistent with the diagnosis of PTSD. He was treated with antianxiety medic...

BACKGROUND Discogenic pain is an important cause of low back pain (LBP). We have developed a pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) technique, using Diskit II needles (NeuroTherm, Middleton, MA, USA) placed centrally in the disk, for applying radiofrequency current in the disc (Intradiscal PRF method). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of this intradiscal pulsed radiofreq...

results three hundred patients were eligible for the study. after 1 month, 62% of patients (186 patients) reported good pain relief [95% confidence interval (ci) 0.53, 0.7]; 8.6% (26 patients) reported excellent pain relief (95% ci 0.07-0.09); 20. 4% (61 patients) reported poor pain relief (95% ci 0.18-0.22), and 9% (27 patients) reported no pain relief (95% ci 0.08-0.099). the average pain num...
