Cooled Versus Conventional Genicular Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Knee Pain

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Chronic Knee Pain

In brief

This prospective observational study seeks to compare pain relief and disability following cooled radiofrequency ablation (Coolief) versus conventional genicular nerve ablation in patients with chronic knee pain. Patients' NRS for pain, WOMAC, and ODI score at baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment will be used to evaluate whether Coolief is more effective at reducing disability and improving pain relief.
