Study Summary
Chronic painful knee OA is a major cause of disability in older adults. In patients whose symptoms are refractory to conservative management but who do not wish to undergo TKA or, alternatively, are not operative candidates, genicular nerve RFA represents a promising treatment option. Investigators will determine if patients with chronic painful knee osteoarthritis experience meaningful and long-term improvement in pain, function, and analgesic use, as well as prevention of TKA after RFA of the genicular nerves. Investigators will also determine whether zero versus one set of diagnostic genicular nerve blocks Answering these questions will help determine if genicular nerve RFA is indeed a worthwhile treatment for chronic painful knee OA. Additionally, this will help determine the optimal diagnostic protocol for patient selection for this procedure, which has implications for improving treatment success rates, preventing unnecessary procedures, and decreasing healthcare cost savings.
Interventions
