Emerging Concepts of Radiofrequency

In this video, a panel of experts discusses the current and future roles of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in pain management practices. Each panelist introduces their practice and explains how RFA is integral, particularly for treating cervical and lumbar spine issues. They emphasize the importance of proper technique and the potential for improving outcomes with newer tools and approaches. Concerns about multifidus muscle damage and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to treating pain are also addressed. The discussion highlights advancements in RFA technology, including internally cooled electrodes and multi-tined electrodes, and their implications for practice.
