Radiofrequency rhizotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic pain, often in the back or neck, by targeting specific nerve roots in the spinal cord. The procedure involves using radiofrequency energy to selectively destroy nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. This is achieved by inserting a thin needle through the skin and guiding it to the targeted nerve root under imaging guidance, typically fluoroscopy or CT. Once in position, radiofrequency energy is applied to the nerve, creating heat that damages the nerve fibers and interrupts the pain signal transmission. The primary cause for performing radiofrequency rhizotomy is to manage pain that has not responded to other treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or injections. It is commonly used for conditions like facet joint syndrome, where pain originates from the joints in the spine, or for other forms of chronic pain that are resistant to conservative measures. Although radiofrequency rhizotomy is generally effective and has a relatively low risk profile, it is not without potential complications. Risks can include infection at the needle insertion site, bleeding, nerve damage, and temporary or persistent pain. Some patients may also experience numbness or weakness in the affected area if nearby nerves are inadvertently targeted. Adverse reactions to anesthesia and potential recurrence of pain are also considerations. Postoperative care includes monitoring for complications, managing pain, and possibly engaging in physical therapy to maintain mobility and function. Regular follow-up with the healthcare provider is important to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure and address any ongoing issues.
