This study describes the effectiveness of performing cervical (neck) radiofrequency neurotomy using a multi-tined Trident cannula from a perpendicular approach following initial and repeat procedures.
Following both initial and repeat cervical radiofrequency neurotomy procedures, it was observed that using the Trident cannula with a perpendicular approach results in statistically and clinically significant improvements in pain, disability, and quality of life.
Chronic neck pain of facet joint origin is common for which radiofrequency neurotomy is a proven treatment. Performing the procedure using a multi-tined Trident cannula from a perpendicular approach is a recent innovation. This study provides “real world” evidence from a relatively large number of patients confirming the effectiveness of the technique following first and repeat treatments.
