Comprehensive genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation for refractory knee pain using a dual-tined electrode: A technical description and cross-sectional cohort study
Our expanded, 6-nerve GNRFA protocol using dual-tined electrodes provided clinically significant pain relief in most patients with no associated complications. This technique shows promise as a safe, effective treatment option for refractory knee pain due to knee osteoarthritis in patients selected by single genicular nerve blocks requiring ≥50 % pain relief. Larger prospective studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.
