Demands vigilant monitoring for safe DREZ lesions; leaves open prospective validation of parameters.
The paper reviews the principles of radiofrequency lesioning and describes the experimental determination of DREZ lesion sizes to guide safe and consistent clinical parameters.
Cosman et al. (1984) reported a review. Radiofrequency (rf) lesion making in the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) was evaluated. Radiofrequency lesion making in the dorsal root entry zone requires careful temperature monitoring and stable electrode penetration to achieve consistent and safe results.
