Interventional Radiology (IR)
About the procedure
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), also known as radiofrequency neurotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses electrical currents generated by radio waves to heat and destroy (ablate) a specific area of tissue. In pain management, its primary application is to disrupt the function of nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from a specific area (e.g., a facet joint in the spine) to the brain.
