Brief Summary

It has been observed that the deterioration in the physical performance of the hip, the medical need before the specialist consultation and the deterioration in the health status can progress treatment\[3\]. When conservative treatment methods such as physical therapy and weight change, the use of walking aids (such as a cane) and analgesic agents are used, these interruptions usually provide short-term and partial benefits. After the application of medical treatment procedures, hip prostheses are usually separated. However, the additional diseases of the patients, the fact that the surgery is a major surgery and the mortality rate is high, and the life of the prostheses used are limited have led to the search for alternative pain palliation. Hip joint radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a procedure performed in our clinic. In this study, we aimed to examine the long-term effects of hip RFT on pain and functional capacity changes in patients.

Conditions

Conventional Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation Application to the Articular Branches of the Femoral and Obturator Nerve; Chronic Hip Pain

Keywords

chronic hip pain; radiofrequency thermocoagulation; Articular Branches of the Femoral and Obturator Nerve

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• chronic pain assessment

  Pain will be assessed with the SAS (Verbal Pain Score) score before surgery, at 12 and 24 months.

  12 month, 24 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• functional capacity assesment

  12 month, 24 month

Study Arms (1)

RFT

Conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) procedure was applied to the femoral and obturator nerve joint branches electively due to chronic hip pain.

Diagnostic Test: VPS (Verbal Pain Score); Diagnostic Test: WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) scale

Interventions

VPS (Verbal Pain Score) DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

İt is a pain intensity determination system based on the system where there person tells a point between 0=(no pain) 10=( unbearable pain) and to describe their pain

RFT

WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) scale DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

It includes 24 questions under three sub-headings as pain, stiffness and physical function

RFT

Study Population

Patients who underwent conventional RF will be included in the prospective studies titled "Treatment of chronic hip pain with conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation to the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves" and "Comparison of conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation to the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves with intra-articular steroid injection and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in chronic hip pain" (theses of assistant Sevilay Şimşek Karaoğlu and Bilge Ergün, respectively) conducted in our clinic.
