Cooled RF Lesion MRI Characteristics
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Arthritis;Lumbosacral, Osteo Arthritis Knee, Sacroiliitis, Hip Osteoarthritis, Arthritis, Degenerative
In brief
This Prospective, Single-center, Pilot Study will assist in gaining an understanding of the actual CRFA lesions in an in vivo situation in areas where CRFA is utilized as a standard of care treatment option for the relief of chronic pain (cervical facet joints, thoracic facet joints, lumbar facet joints, Sacroiliac (SI) region, hip and knee).
