Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 60 adults who had radiofrequency treatment for intercostal neuralgia, a type of nerve pain in the chest wall. The goal was to find out which patient or clinical factors are linked to better pain relief after the procedure. Researchers measured success by a 50% or greater reduction in pain scores at 6 months. No new treatments or visits were involved—only existing data was analyzed.
