Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • pain alleviation

    pain assessment by functional MRI

    1 month

Study Arms (2)

pulsed radiofrequency

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

sensory stimulation will be carried out at 50 Hz. The definitive position of the electrode will be verified by inducing paresthesia with sensory stimulation between 0.1-0.3 V in the affected painful area, then pulsed radiofrequency will be applied for 10 patients for 10 mins

Procedure: pulsed Radiofrequency

thermal Radiofrequency

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

sensory stimulation will be carried out at 50 Hz. The definitive position of the electrode will be verified by inducing paresthesia with sensory stimulation between 0.1-0.3 V in the affected painful area, then Thermal lesion will be applied for 10 patients for 2 cycles of 90 seconds

Procedure: thermal Radiofrequency

Interventions

sensory stimulation will be carried out at 50 Hz. The definitive position of the electrode will be verified by inducing paresthesia with sensory stimulation between 0.1-0.3 V in the affected painful area, then pulsed radiofrequency will be applied for 10 patients for 10 mins
