Radiofrequency Ablation for Arthritis Pain. Radiofrequency ablation (or RFA) is a procedure used to reduce pain. An electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heat up a small area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing pain signals from that specific area.
If a cervical block successfully numbed the pain, it is likely that a patient will have a good response to radiofrequency ablation. If it does not, the patient probably is not a good candidate for radiofrequency ablation. Radiofrequency Ablation to Relieve Pain. Radiofrequency ablation uses radio waves to create heat that is used to kill tissue.
