Cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) involves circulating cool water through the probe tip to maintain the lower temperatures at the tissue tip interface. The circulated water carries the heat away from the tissue–tip interface, which reduces desiccation and …

2025年3月10日 · Cooled radiofrequency ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency waves to destroy tissue or nerves. A cool-tipped probe delivers radiofrequency waves to a targeted area of your body. The radiofrequency waves create heat to destroy the tissue or nerves causing problems. The probe is cooled with water to protect surrounding tissues.

For those not able to pursue surgery, an innovative, minimally invasive option - cooled radiofrequency ablation, commonly referred to as C-RFA, is now available. C-RFA is an outpatient procedure that does not involve an incision. It uses a radio frequency current to selectively block the transmissions of pain signals from the knee.

COOLIEF* Cooled RF is a minimally-invasive, non-narcotic solution for chronic pain. Because it can be performed in an outpatient setting, patients have the potential to return to an enhanced quality of life sooner than with surgery and with a reduced need for narcotics.

Cooled radio frequency ablation (C-RFA) is a treatment with the potential to provide pain relief for patients who no longer benefit from noninvasive modalities and who desire an alternative to surgery.

2021年11月1日 · Cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) utilizes radio waves and ionic heating for tissue ablation and uses water-cooled technology to cool the electrode tip. CRFA allows for temperatures lower than that seen in conventional RFA in …

2014年10月1日 · Cooled RFA (C-RFA) is a more novel technique whereby the temperature of the probe is actively decreased by internal cold irrigation, thus allowing a higher energy that results in a larger lesion. The size of the lesion plays a more important role in more peripheral denervation, like neurotomy of sensory fibers of peripheral joints, where the ...

Cooled radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment can address chronic pain with minimal invasiveness, often with better results than other treatment options. At Alpenglow Pain & Wellness, interventional pain management specialist …

2022年8月31日 · Methods: Outcomes of 170 patients who underwent traditional radiofrequency ablation (tRFA) for chronic knee pain were compared to 170 consecutive patients who received cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) with similar (p=0.5) pre-procedural pain scores.

2020年9月2日 · Cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) is a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of pain related to knee osteoarthritis. This trial compared the efficacy and safety of CRFA with those of a single hyaluronic acid (HA) injection.
