B361 Pulsed radiofrequency ablation for treatment of chronic pain: real-world outcomes in europe

Abstract

date, a total of 10-patients (5 Female, mean age 61 ± 9.5 years) who received both SCS and PNFS for the treatment of their pain were analyzed. At baseline, a mean score of 7.6 ± 1.4 (NRS) was reported which reduced to 2.7 ±1.3 (n = 4.9) at last follow-up (median = 516 days). Data collection and analysis is still ongoing, and updated, new results will be presented. Conclusions Results of this observational case-series so far demonstrate that patients who use PNFS along-with SCS for treatment of chronic pain can achieve significant and clinical meaningful pain relief.

Pulsed Radiofrequency Ablation for Refractory Cancer-Related Leg Pain: A Case Report

“…In a retrospective observational study by Cassini et al on Pulsed RFA in a case series of 31 patients in Europe post-procedural follow-up after a median of 119 days most patients reported significant improvement in pain control. At the last follow-up around 75% of patients continued to have significant pain relief thus proving to be a promising procedure for pain management [ 11 ]. Facchini et al in their systematic review of Pulsed RFA describe it as a promising procedure for cervical radicular pain and sacroiliac joint pain based on current evidence [ 12 ].…”
