Summary

A single blinded randomized controlled trial to compare outcomes of patients with chronic knee pain receiving radiofrequency with or without corticosteroids.

Conditions

• Knee Pain Chronic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	pulsed radiofrequency modulation	a percutaneous needle electrode to apply pulsed RF signals that modulate the activity of sensory nerves. The pulsing of the RF signal permits a maximum temperature to be achieved - usually 42 Celsius. This helps prevent collateral damage from occurring during the procedure and should help reduce procedural complications.
