What
is radiofrequency ablation?
Answer:
Radiofrequency nerve
ablation uses radiofrequency energy to create heat in a very small area in
order to disrupt the myelin sheath on the surface of sensory nerves. The
application of heat at 80º to 90ºC for 90 seconds results in gaps in the
sheath, thereby stopping conduction of the nerve.
