Radiofrequency Ablation of Pericranial Nerves for Treating Headaches: 10-Year Follow-Up
These findings suggest that thermal RFA of pericranial nerves can offer meaningful, lasting relief for patients with neuralgic headaches that resist traditional treatments. As a minimally invasive option with limited side effects, RFA may reduce the need for ongoing pharmacologic management and improve the quality of life for chronic headache sufferers.
