Pulsed Radiofrequency

Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment, a relative novel pain intervention at recent decade, was found to be able to alleviate pain by delivering an electrical field and heat bursts at a temperature less than 42°C to neural tissue in the absence of neural injury. The ultrasound-guided PRF was performed before night splint in intervention group.
