Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), or radiofrequency neurotomy, is a type of injection procedure that is used to treat several conditions including chronic neck and/or back pain. In the neck and back, pain stemming from the vertebral facet joints or the hip’s sacroiliac joints or the posterior pelvis may be treated using RFA.

Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) L4 and L5 dorsal ramus/medial branch and S1, S2, S3 lateral branch radiofrequency ablation; Sample Opnote Goal. To ablate nerves that innervate the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). Indications. Pain in the low back, gluteal, groin area that is caused by the sacroiliac joint. Commonly this is from ...

Radiofrequency ablation at L4 and L5 primary dorsal rami and S1 – S3 lateral sacral branch may provide effective and longer pain relief compared to the classic intra-articular steroid injection, in properly selected patients with suspected sacroiliac joint pain.

2021年7月23日 · The current evidence suggests that sacral lateral branch radiofrequency ablation can provide relief for posterior sacroiliac joint complex pain, but the literature is limited by variability in selection criteria, the specific nerves targeted by radiofrequency ablation, and the types of radiofrequency ablation technology and techniques utilized ...

2015年7月1日 · The objective of this article is to recommend an approach to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the sacral lateral branches that is safe, effective, and simple to perform. To do so, one must identify the proper patient, perform a diagnostic block to confirm the sacroiliac joint as the pain generator, and then, after 2 successful blocks, move to ...

A radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the sacroiliac joint (SI joint) is a procedure that uses radio waves to heat and destroy nerves. These nerves carry pain signals from the injured sacroiliac joint to the brain.

2021年7月25日 · The current evidence suggests that sacral lateral branch radiofrequency ablation can provide relief for posterior sacroiliac joint complex pain, but the literature is limited by variability in selection criteria, the specific nerves targeted by radiofrequency ablation, and the types of radiofrequency ablation technology and techniques utilized ...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the sacral lateral branches targets the innervation of the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and posterior portion of the sacroiliac joint, also referred to as the posterior sacroiliac joint complex. This review assesses the published evidence on local anesthetic blocks …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the nerves innervating the sacroiliac joint has been shown to be a safe and efficacious strategy. Objectives: We aimed to develop a new RFA technique to relieve low back pain secondary to

2022年6月1日 · SIJ radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a common intervention that interrupts nociceptive pain signals originating from the SIJ through neural tissue thermocoagulation. Different needle placement locations and lesioning techniques have been described for SIJ RFA.
