Jan 1, 2022
This randomized pilot study evaluated whether adding combined extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF EMF) and LED physiotherapy to standard analgesics reduces postoperative orofacial pain after orthognathic surgery. The physiotherapy group reportedly experienced faster pain reduction than controls. The…

Jan 1, 2016
This prospective, randomized, single-blind study compared monopolar versus bipolar radiofrequency surgery for inferior turbinate hypertrophy in 71 patients. Over 6 months, long-term symptom outcomes did not significantly differ between groups. Monopolar radiofrequency showed earlier symptom improvement and less…

This study evaluated magnetostimulation and magnetoledtherapy for pain reduction after dental implant treatment in three groups of 10 patients each. Pain was recorded using a VAS scale, and analgesic use was also tracked. The abstract reports lower pain scores and reduced analgesic use in the magnetostimulation…

Jan 1, 2014
This prospective interventional study randomized 60 patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy to bipolar radiofrequency-assisted versus microdebrider-assisted turbinoplasty (30 per group). Both groups showed significant postoperative symptom improvement through 6 months. Three recurrences were reported at 6 months…

Jan 1, 2013
This study evaluated pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation of the suprascapular nerve in 11 patients with chronic shoulder pain from adhesive capsulitis and/or rotator cuff tear. Pain (VAS) and shoulder-related quality of life/function (OSS) were assessed before treatment and monthly after PRF for up to 9…
Long-term efficacy of radiofrequency treatment of turbinate hypertrophy: a patient based point of view.

Jan 1, 2013
This observational study followed 36 patients for 2 years after temperature-controlled radiofrequency tissue volume reduction for turbinate hypertrophy. Patients reported significantly lower VAS symptom scores (nasal obstruction, headache, rhinorrhoea, anosmia) after treatment compared with baseline. Urban residence…
Short-term effects of pulsed radiofrequency on chronic refractory cervical radicular pain.

Jan 1, 2011
This small clinical study evaluated pulsed radiofrequency applied to the cervical dorsal root ganglion in patients with chronic refractory cervical radicular pain. Pain (VAS) and disability (NDI) improved over 3 months, with most patients reporting ≥50% pain relief and satisfaction at follow-up. No adverse effects…
Would pulsed radiofrequency applied to different anatomical regions have effective results for chronic pain treatment?

Jan 1, 2011
This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) for chronic pain in patients who did not respond to conventional treatment. Across 24 patients treated at different anatomical regions, 66.7% reportedly achieved at least a 50% reduction in VAS pain scores over a mean follow-up of 8.5…
