Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examines the different application techniques of ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency treatment of cervical spinal nerves for cervical radicular pain.

Patients with radiologic imaging findings of C5-C6-C7 disc protrusion or extrusion, with compatible clinical and physical examinations and who have undergone ultrasound-guided spinal cervical nerve radiofrequency treatment in our clinic will be evaluated. Patients' background information will be taken in their files and missing information will be completed by phone call. Pain scores at 3 and 6 months after the procedure will be recorded by scoring from 1 to 10. Patients will not undergo any interventional procedure for research purposes.

Interscalene cervical nerve radiofrequency

The group treated with interscalene pulsed radiofrequency intervention

cervical nerve radiofrequency

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pulsed radiofrequency treatment is applied to the cervical 5-6-7 nerve roots defined under ultrasound guidance in the intertubercular or interscalene space by approaching the cervical 5-6-7 nerve roots with an inplane technique via a cannula electrode.

Intertubercular cervical nerve radiofrequency

The group was treated with intertubercular pulsed radiofrequency intervention

cervical nerve radiofrequency

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pulsed radiofrequency treatment is applied to the cervical 5-6-7 nerve roots defined under ultrasound guidance in the intertubercular or interscalene space by approaching the cervical 5-6-7 nerve roots with an inplane technique via a cannula electrode.
