The effectiveness of thoracic medial branch radiofrequency ablation using a three-tined electrode: A real-world cross-sectional cohort study
In this cohort, approximately half of patients who underwent first-time TMBRFA with a three-tined electrode experienced clinically meaningful pain relief and perceived overall improvement at an average follow-up of nearly 2 years. Larger, prospective studies are needed to corroborate these findings.
