Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of genicular nerves: a novel 5-nerve protocol – pilot study

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a novel 5-nerve radiofrequency ablation protocol.
• Conducted a pilot study on ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation.
• Focused on genicular nerves using a 5-nerve approach.
• Compared outcomes without a control group.
• The 5-nerve protocol demonstrated clinical plausibility.
• Safety was confirmed, but improvements could not be definitively attributed to RFA over placebo.
