Radiofrequency thermocoagulation with glycerin rhizotomy compared with glycerin rhizotomy alone for pain improvement in repeat rhizotomy
In this study, RFTC-GR caused greater postoperative numbness than GR alone, while reducing the risk of rhizotomy failure compared with GR. Thus, RFTC-GR could be a more appropriate repeat procedure for patients with minimal numbness preoperatively.
