Abstract
With an increased knowledge of neural anatomy and technologic improvement, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) became an often-used technique for the pain control over an extended time period. Today, RFA is used safely for spinal pains of facet or discogenic origin, sympathetically maintained pain, and other pains of neural origin.Keywords
