Lesioning Procedures Featuring: RFA Solutions Portfolio

​

Overview
 

When conservative treatment fails patients with severe chronic pain, the application of COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) lesioning procedures may be appropriate choices for care. This practicum-intensive workshop is for pain management physicians, orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians and related specialists who have been trained in Pain Medicine. The focus of this education includes the indications for interventional COOLIEF* Cooled RF pain procedures and how to perform them. Faculty will discuss the anatomy and pathophysiology of various types of pain pathologies which are important aspects for selecting a procedure and for imaging and precise placement of probes.

 

Clinical outcomes for each procedure will be addressed. During the practicum, procedural steps will be demonstrated by faculty, followed by hands-on practice by each attendee. The design of this workshop promotes optimal faculty-attendee interaction, with ample time for questions and discussion.

 

COOLIEF* Cooled RF is cleared by the FDA. COOLIEF* Cooled RF has been used to perform denervation procedures to relieve shoulder pain, back pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, as well as the sacroiliac (SI) joint. COOLIEF* Cooled RF can also be used to perform genicular denervation to address knee pain, and obturator and femoral articular branch denervation to address hip pain.
