Abstract
null null Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective pain therapy with efficacy principally reliant upon induced thermal damage of neural sensory afferents. Most peripheral RFA involves induced axonal damage but cell bodies may be involved indirectly. Radiofrequency electrodes (RFE) are not simple high-temperature probes and better insight regarding RFE function from an electrical engineering viewpoint may improve clinical outcomes by...
