Present status and progress of the treatment of chronic pain diseases with pulsed radiofrequency

Pulsed radiofrequency is a novel and attractive treatment in pain management,and is used widely in the world. As it has more advantages than continuous radiofrequency, such as little risk of nerve damages, low complications and side effects and it can be used repeatedly and safely. So the practi-tioners adopt pulsed radiofrequency popularly because it is a quicker, easier procedure. But the mechanism of pulsed radiofrequency is still not known completely. And the double - blind randomized controlled studies in clinic are still insufficient. Therefore more researches on this promising technique are necessary.
