2. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

   Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).

3. Neurolysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurolysis

   Neurotomy may refer to the application of heat (as in radiofrequency nerve lesioning), chemical ablation, or freezing of sensory nerves with the intent of a longer term (months or years) ablation or partial denervation of one or more peripheral nerves, usually to relieve chronic pain. [1] [3] [4]

4. Superior cluneal nerves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_cluneal_nerves

   Neuroablation can be performed with chemical neurolysis or radiofrequency ablation. These techniques are often used on the medial branch nerves to treat low back pain and have been applied to the superior cluneal nerves. The use of phenol has been noted to relieve pain for up to 9 months but may not completely resolve symptoms. [5]

7. Targeted radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_radiofrequency...

   Targeted radiofrequency ablation (also written t-RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat severe pain and discomfort caused from metastatic tumors in the vertebral body of the spine. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to target and ablate a specific spinal tumor, causing it shrink and reduce the pressure on the surrounding nerves ...
