Bipolar vs. cooled radiofrequency for sacroiliac joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (a heat-based procedure) for long-lasting sacroiliac joint pain. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
