First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two minimally invasive procedures for knee osteoarthritis pain: genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation and intra-articular pulsed radiofrequency. Both use radiofrequency energy to reduce pain, but in different ways. Researchers enrolled 34 adults with knee osteoarthritis and measured pain relief and patient improvement. The goal was to see which method works better for managing chronic knee pain.
