What is this Condition?
Diagnosis Methods
This heading describes a treatment method rather than a disease; diagnosis is made according to the underlying cause of pain. Before the procedure, the target area is confirmed through physical examination, imaging, and when necessary, diagnostic nerve blocks. Proper patient selection is crucial for benefiting from the procedure.
Treatment Methods
The procedure is performed by delivering controlled heat to the targeted nerve using a fine needle under imaging guidance. The aim is to reduce pain transmission and improve the patient's daily life. Follow-up evaluates the pain level and its impact on daily activities; additional or repeat treatment is planned if necessary.
