The Role of Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation

2019
Conventional (Continuous) Radiofrequency thermocoagulation (CRF) and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) are becoming treatment choices in severe headache cases. PRF differs from CRF as it maintains tissue temperature below 42 °C and prevents possible tissue destruction.

Monopolar stereoelectroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation

Journal of Neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)–guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) has the advantage of producing a lesion in the epileptogenic zone (EZ) at the end of SEEG. The majority of published SEEG-guided RFTCs have been bipolar and usually performed between contiguous contacts of the same electrode.

Pulsed Radiofrequency: A Management Option for Recurrent Trigeminal Neuralgia Following Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation

World Neurosurgery, 2017
Pain relief comparable with radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) alone and fewer side effects than RFT have been achieved by combination treatment with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and short-duration RFT in trigeminal neuralgia (TN).We report the successful management of recurrent TN after RFT with single PRF in 2 patients.

Optimized SEEG-guided three-dimensional radiofrequency thermocoagulation for insular epilepsy

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2022
The high risk of resection surgery for drug-resistant insular epilepsy has driven interest in new treatment techniques. Stereo-electroencephalography-guided three-dimensional radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG-3D RFTC) offers an alternative option.

Neuronavigation-assisted Percutaneous Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation Therapy in Trigeminal Neuralgia

The Clinical Journal of Pain, 2007
To evaluate the roles of neuronavigation-assisted percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy in patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN).Neuronavigation technique was applied in 12 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation therapy for their primary TN.Neuronavigation assistance ensured precise ...

Neuropsychological Outcomes After Stereo-EEG Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation

Neurology
Stereo-EEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTHC) has been proposed as relatively safe from a cognitive perspective; however, there is a lack of evidence based on neuropsychological assessments supporting this. This study is the first prospective evaluation of neuropsychological outcomes associated with stereo-EEG-guided RFTHC in patients with

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation–assisted surgery for intracranial giant vasogenic tumors

Surgical Neurology, 2008
We report the novel use of radiofrequency thermocoagulation to facilitate surgical excision of intracranial giant vasogenic tumors and detail the operative procedures and patient outcomes.There were 2 patients with intracranial giant vasogenic tumors. The first was an extracerebral deep-seated cavernous angioma in the cavernous sinus (largest diameter:

Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation in Relieving Refractory Pain of Knee Osteoarthritis

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2017
To investigate the efficacy of radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) in relieving refractory pain of knee osteoarthritis (OA), we selected 54 patients with chronic knee OA pain, 27 treated with RFTC (case group) and 27 receiving regular treatments (control group).

Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation for Trigeminal Neuralgia

2019
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) can be managed medically, surgically, or by percutaneous techniques. Among the percutaneous techniques, radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) offers many benefits over others. The radiofrequency (RF) current is a low energy, high frequency (50–500 kHz), alternate current.

[Selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation for trigeminal neuralgia].

Zhonghua yi xue za zhi, 2011
To study the technique and experience of selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SRFTC) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and the application of neuronavigation in SRFTC for TN.SRFTC was performed in 3269 TN patients and neuronavigation-assisted SRFTC in 36 of them.
