Abstract :
The rationale of Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF) was clear and simple. The mode of action of conitnuous Radiofrequency (CRF) could be explained by destruction of afferent nerve fibers on their way from a nociceptive focus to the central nervous system. In the late eighties there was a new discussion on the validity of this theory. It had been observed that an RF lesion could also be effective if it was applied peripheral to the nociceptive focus.
