RF Thermocoagulation
Nerve ablation therapy using radiofrequency
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.
