Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is commonest chronic arthritis affecting patients usually aged above 45 years. OA decreased health-related quality of life and increased economic costs. Radiofrequency (RF), was used for the treatment of chronic pain unresponsive to conservative therapies. RF has been used for several painful conditions. There have been a few attempts to use RF current for the treatment of painful conditions of joints of the extremities. It was also used for the treatment of painful conditions of the hip joint.
