Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency of cervical nerve root for cervical radicular pain: A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Abstract
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on cervical dorsal root ganglion (DRG) for pain management in cervical radicular pain is mainly performed via a transforaminal approach under fluoroscopic guidance. Ultrasound-guidance periradicular cervical nerve root intervention raises concern about the neuromodulatory effect. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and duration of pain relief between PRF treatment and steroid injection on the cervical nerve roots.
