Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure using radio waves or electric current to generate sufficient heat to interrupt nerve conduction on a semi-permanent basis.The nerves are usually blocked for 6-9 months, although it may last as short as 3 months or as long at 18 months or longer.adiofrequency ablation is also used in patients with RSD involving arms or legs to interrupt the sympathetic nerve supply to the involved arm or leg. Radiofrequency ablation can also be used for some unusual conditions, including pain from degenerative disks, occipital neuralgia and certain types of abdominal pain.
Radiofrequency ablation procedures for the SI joint can provide over a year of pain relief. Study looking at radiofrequency ablation procedures for the facet joint and lumbar spine showed almost 500 days of pain relief on average, which is almost a year and a half.Thatâs an amazing amount of time where patients can not have to live in such dramatic pain from an SI joint problem.he risks of an SI joint radiofrequency neurotomy include potentially infection which is a very low risk, failure to relieve the pain, and potentially increased pain for a few weeks due to muscle spasm. There is also a very low risk of injury to one of the nerve roots in the region.
