“…The results showed that both low-voltage and high-voltage PRF were effective in the treatment of chronic lumbosacral radicular pain. However, the NRS value of the high pressure group at 6 months was lower and the incidence of complications was similar, so high pressure PRF may be a promising application [12].…”

Chronic pain is one of the health problems of common concern around the world. With the increasing expectation of patients for the therapeutic effect, traditional drug therapy has been difficult to meet the needs of patients. As a new minimally invasive pain treatment technology, pulsed radiofrequency has significant clinical effect, simple operation and repeatability, and plays an important role in the treatment of chronic pain. This article reviews the application of pulsed radiofrequency in the treatment of various chronic pain, in order to provide reference for clinical treatment.

“…Recent investigations have demonstrated a correlation between PRF treatment efficacy and its parameters. Clinical research suggests that high-voltage, long-duration PRF delivers superior analgesic outcomes for peripheral neuralgia (e.g., herpes zoster neuralgia, chronic lumbosacral radicular pain, and pudendal neuralgia), without inducing a nerve thermal transection effect [5][6][7]. However, it is unclear whether the electromagnetic field of high-voltage, long-duration PRF therapy could interfere with medical implantable devices.…”

but support for the synergic mechanism is lacking in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of TFESI immediately after DRG-PRF and its possible role on pain intensity and patient disability. Methods: A database of patients who underwent DRG-PRF with or without TFESI immediately after DRG-PRF was retrospectively analysed; propensity score matching was applied to the analysis to reduce possible bias. Pain intensity (numerical rating scale [NRS]) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were recorded pre-operatively and at the 1-and 3-month follow-up in the two groups of patients. Results: A total of 252 patients were included in this retrospective analysis, 126 patients in the DRG-PRF + TFESI group and 126 patients in the DRG-PRF group after propensity score matching. Both groups displayed a significant reduction in pain intensity (NRS score reduction; p < 0.0001) and improvement in the ODI (p < 0.0001) from baseline at the 3-month follow-up. Interestingly, the use of TFESI after DRG-PRF was not associated with any clinical benefit as no difference in NRS and ODI was found between the two groups at the 1-and 3-month follow-ups. Conclusions: Our study revealed a significant pain reduction and disability improvement after DRG-PRF in patients with lumbar radicular pain. Interestingly, no positive role of TFESI immediately after DRG-PRF was observed. These findings suggest that DRG-PRF provides substantial
