Multifactorial Determinants of Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment Outcomes in Meralgia Paresthetica: A Focus on Obesity, Comorbidities, and Technical Variables
Obesity was associated with decreased treatment success at 6 months post-PRF. Additionally, female sex, depression, fibromyalgia, vitamin D deficiency, and reduced cortical amplitude on the affected side negatively impacted outcomes. Longer PRF duration and greater response to the diagnostic block were linked to improved efficacy.
