Predictive Values for the Outcome of Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Knee Pain
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis, Knee
- Registration Number
- NCT05222776
- Lead Sponsor
- Diskapi Teaching and Research Hospital
- Brief Summary
Researchers are trying to assess a predictive value or correlation between patient and procedural characteristics and outcome measures results after genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation.
- Detailed Description
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.
Recruitment & Eligibility

- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 206
- Patient's 18 years or older
- Patients who recently underwent ultrasound guided genicular nerve radiofrequency (RF) procedure
- 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.
Study & Design
- Study Type
- OBSERVATIONAL
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain assessed by NRS 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.
