Abstract

Chronic pain is one of the leading causes of reduced quality of life in the USA, with knee pain commonly reported. Multiple therapeutic modalities are traditionally utilized for pain management; however, some patients may have pain refractory to these techniques. Cooled radiofrequency ablation (c-RFA) of the geniculate nerve is a growing and promising therapy offering a potentially long-term solution to chronic knee pain.
