简要总结
Researchers are trying to assess a predictive value or correlation between patient and procedural characteristics and outcome measures results after genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation.
详细描述
Genicular nerve radiofrequency stimulation procedure is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pain due to knee osteoarthritis; however, little is known about factors that predict procedure success. This study evaluated correlation between patient characteristics and procedural characteristics and pain improvement after ultrasound guided genicular nerve radiofrequency stimulation procedure.

入选标准
- •Patient's 18 years or older
- •Patients who recently underwent ultrasound guided genicular nerve radiofrequency (RF) procedure
排除标准
- •lack of documentation of predictive factors to assess outcome
- •Patients in whom adequate follow-up data was not available
- •Patients who were prescribed a new analgesic drug or received concurrent treatments for different pain sources during the follow-up period, that could affect interpretation of genicular RF treatment results.
结局指标
主要结局
Pain assessed by NRS
时间窗: Change from baseline pain score at 6 months
A NRS involves asking the patient to rate his or her pain from 0 to 10 (11 point scale) with the understanding that 0 is equal to no pain and 10 is equal to worst possible pain.
