Radiofrequency treatment for long-term knee pain after knee surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a radiofrequency procedure can reduce chronic knee pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help people who still have bothersome pain between 6 months and 5 years after their operation, as long as their pain pattern and medications are stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
