New study pits two Heat-Based pain blockers against each other for knee arthritis sufferers

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for knee osteoarthritis pain: genicular nerve radiofrequency thermocoagulation (which destroys pain-signaling nerves with heat) and intra-articular pulsed radiofrequency (which uses electric fields to reduce inflammation). 30 adults with knee osteoarthritis pain were treated and followed to see which method works better. The goal is to find a safer, non-surgical option for long-term pain relief.
