简要总结
Although there are different ways of performing genicular nerve radiofrequency on knee pain, to our knowledge, there is no stuies comparing the clinical outcomes of a parallel technique vs. a perpendicular technique. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of these both techniques.

结局指标
主要结局
The proportion of patients with a pain reduction of at least 50% compared to baseline expressed by the numerical rating scale (NRS)
时间窗: 6 months after intervention.
The proportion of patients with a pain reduction of at least 50% compared to baseline expressed by the numerical rating scale (NRS) (0-10).The lower the score, the least pain the patient experiences.
次要结局
- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)(6 months after intervention.)
