We report the successful use of water-cooled radiofrequency where more traditional forms of neuroablation-conventional and pulsed radiofrequency-had failed to achieve adequate pain relief. We also discuss the mechanism of neural damage with water cooled radiofrequency and discuss why this technique may have a broader role in the management of a wide array of pain syndromes.
我们报告了水冷式射频的成功应用,而更传统的神经消融形式——传统射频和脉冲射频——均未能实现充分的疼痛缓解。我们还讨论了水冷式射频造成神经损伤的机制,并探讨了为何该技术在多种疼痛综合征的管理中可能具有更广泛的作用。
