Remember, they are there only to send pain signals, and without them, you will not feel any numbness or weakness in any muscles. The goal of RF facet denervation is to provide long-term pain relief. Studies have shown 50 percent of patients experience relief lasting up to two years. Eventually, the nerves regenerate and your pain may return, at which point the RF denervation procedure can be repeated.
Generally, the nerves that are targeted and damaged during a radiofrequency ablation procedure may re-grow after six to 18 months. However, even though the nerves have the ability to regenerate, it does not mean that the patient will experience the same level of pain that was experienced prior to the treatment.
