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.
Radiofrequency ablation procedures for the SI joint can provide over a year of pain relief. Study looking at radiofrequency ablation procedures for the facet joint and lumbar spine showed almost 500 days of pain relief on average, which is almost a year and a half.Thatâs an amazing amount of time where patients can not have to live in such dramatic pain from an SI joint problem.he risks of an SI joint radiofrequency neurotomy include potentially infection which is a very low risk, failure to relieve the pain, and potentially increased pain for a few weeks due to muscle spasm. There is also a very low risk of injury to one of the nerve roots in the region.
