A Brief Overview
In pain management, RF generators offer a solution for chronic neck and back pain. Radiofrequency Ablation is a typical procedure performed on a range of patients. An RF Generator will produce heat that allows the physician to treat nerves that cause debilitating pain. In many cases, RF energy from an RF generator can play a valuable role in effective pain management procedures.
RF Generators and Medical Advancements:
In 1891, the first instance of RF technology came to the world. Jacques Arsene d’Arsonval discovered that AC currents could be adapted to exceed 10 kHz. This adaptation proved to have some interesting side effects. These include heating and warming tissue.
It was not until 1976 that RF technology received FDA clearance. After this, the devices became part of regular medical treatment protocol. Today RF technology is used in ablation therapy and similar treatments for a wide range of medical issues, including Pain Management.
How doctors administer this procedure will depend on the treatment.
For pain management the medical professional inserts a needle into the area to be treated. Once the needle is placed, the physician can locate the site to be treated and test using the RF generator that they are in the correct position before lesioning. Once the area to be treated is isolated, the physician can then lesion the affected area and resolve the patient’s pain.
