Interruption of the transmission of pain signals by heat
We use this method successfully in the treatment of Facet joint syndrome in.
Typical target structures are nerves that conduct pain impulses from the small vertebral joints towards the spine and spinal cord. As only the nerve endings that do not fulfil any other functions beyond pain transmission are treated, there are no subsequent impairments in everyday life. Localising the correct nerves in advance is crucial to the success of the treatment. In addition to the initial consultation and examination findings Diagnostic blockagesto select the right target structures for thermal denervation.
How does the Thermal denervation in progress?
The procedure itself is carried out under local anaesthetic and is therefore painless. Hospitalisation is not necessary. Outpatient treatment is the rule at the Schmerzwerkstatt München.
A special feature of thermal denervation at the Schmerzwerkstatt Munich is the mandatory "intraoperative mapping". After placing the thermal needle under the C-arm, minimal current pulses are applied. The tingling or pressure sensations triggered in this way help to localise the pain nerve with pinpoint accuracy and thus ensure maximum safety. Only then is the minimally invasive sclerotherapy performed under local anaesthetic. Cardiac and respiratory function are monitored during the procedure. This is followed by a short monitoring phase in our relaxation room. The final examination concludes the treatment. Full physical resilience is restored from the following day.
Thermo-denervation: Interruption of the transmission of pain signals through heat
When conservative methods reach their limits, thermal denervation as part of radiofrequency therapy can provide lasting pain relief in suitable cases. This minimally invasive method interrupts the pain transmission to the brain with pinpoint accuracy. We use this method successfully in the treatment of Facet joint syndrome in.
