Ultrasound-guided high-voltage vs conventional pulsed radiofrequency in elderly cervical radiculopathy: A randomized controlled trial.
Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences·December 1, 2026·PMID 42708796
Why it mattersElderly patients with cervical radiculopathy often have limited options due to comorbidities and medication risks. This trial provides evidence that a simple modification—increasing voltage during pulsed radiofrequency—can yield clinically meaningful improvements in pain and function without added safety concerns, potentially refining interventional pain practice.
