Abstract

Aim and Background: Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic articular disorder. Several pharmacologic therapies including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used clinically for symptomatic relief in patients with KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS. However, inadequate pain control and also side effects are the most challenges for this type of treatment. The aim of this study is evaluation of intra-articular PULSED RADIOFREQUENCY (PRF) on knee pain and RANGE OF MOTION (ROM).Methods and Materials: Twenty-four patients with primary KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS were enrolled after local anesthesia, a 22G PRF needle with 100mm length and 10mm active tip was introduced by 45o angulation through upper and lateral wedge of patella into the knee articular space. The location of the target point was confirmed by fluoroscopic guidance. Then, PRF treatment, with 20 msec and 2 Hz, was applied at 42oC for 15 minutes by two cycles. PAIN SCORE (VAS), ROM (by Goniometry method), side effects of treatment, satisfaction of patients and demographic variables were recorded before PRF, and 1, 4, and 12 weeks thereafter.Findings: The mean VAS score was 7.08±1.4 before the treatment. After 1 week it was 3.41±2.24, and after 4 weeks it was 4.2±2.26, which showed a significant difference (p<0.0001). VAS, 12 weeks after the procedure was 5.95±2.15, and this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.09). ROM of knee joint did not improve during the study period. No side effects were reported.Conclusions: Intra-articular knee PRF may be considered for reducing KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS pain with short time benefits, but long term benefit may not be yielded. This method may not improve the ROM of involved joint.
