RF Thermocoagulation

What is This Treatment?

Radiofrequency (RF) thermocoagulation involves stopping pain transmission by burning pain-carrying nerve fibers with controlled heat. It is an effective treatment method for trigeminal neuralgia, facet joint pain, and chronic back-neck pain.

Benefits

• Long-term pain control
• Non-surgical treatment
• Repeatable procedure
• Day-case intervention

Treatment Process

Under fluoroscopy or CT guidance, a special RF needle is placed on the target nerve. Test stimulation is first performed to confirm the correct nerve, then controlled heat (80-90°C) is applied to ablate the nerve.
