Radiofrequency treatment for GPN

Does anybody have any knowledge on Radiofrequency treatment for GPN. Please send me information on the same and its side effects.

theres this kind of rhizotomy, but they don't reccomend that unless you already have cancer etc, cause it can screw you up so bad for GPN

this is just an abstract about it but says it successful, the full article isn't available

this says its useful when other options have failed and has far more info on it so is maybe worth a read\

hope this is a place to start .

Much love to you

Hi Grace,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I will certainly discuss with my wife's doctor regarding the side effects of Pulse radiofrequency treatment and the same is only done on patients having cancer.

I have some doubt that is PSR, simple radiofrequency and pulsed radiofrequency the same or different treatments. I will have the discussion with the doctor also.

Regards
