Effect of bipolar pulsed radiofrequency on chronic cervical radicular pain refractory to monopolar pulsed radiofrequency.
We aimed to evaluate the effect of bipolar pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) in patients with chronic cervical radicular pain who were refractory to monopolar PRF and transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI). ⋯ Bipolar PRF on cervical DRG may be a good treatment option for managing refractory chronic cervical radicular pain.
