Comparison of Denervation Techniques for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: Continuous Ablative Radiofrequency Vs. Chemical Denervation with Absolute Alcohol
288 patients around the world
Available in Brazil
This randomized clinical trial compares continuous ablative radiofrequency and chemical
denervation with absolute alcohol for pain relief in patients with knee osteoarthritis
refractory to conventional treatments. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of
the two procedures, with outcomes assessed based on pain reduction, functional
improvement, quality of life, and safety. Follow-ups will be conducted for up to six
months to evaluate the durability of pain relief, providing evidence to guide clinical
management of chronic knee osteoarthritis pain.
