Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating musculoskeletal condition that significantly affects the quality of life of millions of individuals worldwide. In recent years, cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) has become a viable treatment option for knee OA. This review thoroughly evaluated the existing literature on CRFA therapy for knee OA. It delved into the mechanisms behind CRFA, evaluated its clinical efficacy, and investigated potential avenues for future research and application. The insights gained from this review are crucial for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers, offering an updated perspective on CRFA's role as a viable therapeutic option for knee OA.
膝关节骨性关节炎(OA)是一种普遍存在且使人衰弱的肌肉骨骼疾病,严重影响着全球数百万人的生活质量。近年来,冷却射频消融术(CRFA)已成为治疗膝关节OA的一种可行方法。这篇综述全面评估了现有的膝关节 OA 冷却射频消融疗法文献。它深入探讨了 CRFA 背后的机制,评估了其临床疗效,并调查了未来研究和应用的潜在途径。从这篇综述中获得的见解对医疗保健专业人士、研究人员和政策制定者至关重要,为 CRFA 作为膝关节 OA 的可行治疗方案提供了最新视角。
