La radiofrequenza pulsata (PRF) gangliare - Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on the dorsal root ganglion

Radiofrequency is a high frequency electric alternating current. The therapeutic effects of radiofrequency (related to a thermal lesion of nervous targets)have been used for many years for pain syndromes not responsive to pharmacological therapies. The mechanism of antalgic action is a through an electrode. The disadvantages of this method have always been correlated to limited use for sensitive nerve structures (nerve damage). In the mid-‘90s, a new method (PRF) treated a nervous structure with a non-damaging temperature, above 44°C. To verify the efficacy of PRF when applied to dorsal root ganglia, (according to evidence based medicine) the authors selected literature from several studies of chronic pain syndrome. Through a specific testing score, it is possible to select chronic pain syndromes with a positive response to the treatment. In summary, we see a large problem with the insufficient refund
