New hope for knee replacement pain? tiny study tests Nerve-Zapping procedure
NCT ID NCT05130216
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a procedure called genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could reduce chronic pain in people who still had knee pain more than a year after a total knee replacement. The procedure uses heat to temporarily disable specific nerves around the knee that send pain signals. Researchers wanted to see if this could be a helpful alternative to long-term pain medication for this difficult-to-treat condition.
