To our knowledge, this is the first report of high-frequency thermocoagulation applied to the spinal root. We treated 34 patients suffering from cancer pain with this technique. Among these patients, cancer pain occurred due to intrapelvic metastasis in 11 patients, and 13 complained of chest pain due to cancer. Every patient was considered to have good or excellent response when his or her pain score was reduced to 6 points or less from the score before thermocoagulation; 10 points. Based on this criterion, 54.5% and 30.8% of the above-mentioned patients showed good and excellent responses respectively one month after treatment. This technique, therefore, was considered to be effective with less side effects compared with other nerve blocking techniques.
据我们所知，这是高频热凝应用于脊神经根的首次报告。我们用该技术治疗了34例癌痛患者。在这些患者中，11例因盆腔内转移出现癌痛，13例因癌症主诉胸痛。当每位患者的疼痛评分从热凝前的10分降至6分或更低时，每位患者均被认为有良好或极好的反应。基于这一标准，上述患者分别在治疗后1个月有54.5%和30.8%表现出良好和极好的反应。因此，与其他神经阻滞技术相比，该技术被认为有效且副作用较小。
