简要总结

The study is designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of three needles approach as a new technique in radiofrequency neurotomy of genicular nerve versus the traditional single needle approach as a treatment of advanced knee osteoarthritic pain. Primary outcome:

  1. Pain intensity via the visual analogue score (VAS).
  2. Function and pain via the Oxford Knee Score. Evaluated after 6 months of the procedure

Secondary outcome:

  1. Failure rate.
  2. Incidence of any complication.
  3. Total analgesic requirement during the period of follow up.
