• Exact described denervation areas

• Long term pain rediction (6 –18 month)

• Repeatable (recurrence due to regeneration)

Therapy

Sensory and motor stimulation    

· first:   sensory stimulation with 50Hz or 100Hz   an threshold with values U < 1,0 Volt

· second:   motor stimulation with 2 Hz and threshold U > 1.0 volt

Lesion   

 · Lesion duration: 60s

 · Lesion temperature 80°C    

 · Start lesion 

Indication

· Face pain:   - lesion of the Ganglion Gasseri  patients  with Trigeminal neuralgia 

· Back pain:  - selective partial Rhizotomie,  - Facet joint denervation 

· Tumor pain :  Rhizotomie, Chordotomie 

· Disk pain : Annuloplastie

Other areas of radiofrequency lesion application are :

- neurosurgical  stereotactic intervention

- cardiology, modify the electrical stimulus
