Pulsed Radiofrequency Nerve Root Block is utilised to desensitise peripheral nerves that cause pain due to heightened activity. This non-destructive technique employs high-energy electric fields to diminish the firing of target nerves and minimise the transmission of pain.

Pulsed Radiofrequency can prove to be an effective treatment, akin to resetting a computer, by returning hypersensitive nerves to their pre-pain state.

By delivering a high-frequency current, this procedure reduces the nerve’s ability to convey pain signals to the brain. It can serve as an effective treatment, particularly following a nerve root block that may have only provided short-term relief.

It’s important to note that this procedure may result in a brief exacerbation of pain, which typically subsides within a few days. On occasion, this temporary discomfort may persist for up to a couple of weeks.
