Radiofrequency neurotomy, or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic pain by disabling pain-transmitting nerves. It involves using heat generated by an electrode to selectively destroy these nerves. The procedure provides temporary pain relief that can last several months to a year. RFA is generally safe, with minimal risks and complications. However, it is not suitable for all types of pain, and a consultation with a pain management specialist is necessary to determine eligibility. It is typically used as part of a comprehensive pain management plan.
