An alternative treatment option in older adults with knee osteoarthritis
Özet
Osteoarthritis (OA), including knee OA
(KOA), is an important cause of morbidity and disability in older adults. Pain management plays a
major role in the treatment of KOA for pain relief
and knee function improvement. Ultrasound-guided
genicular nerve pulsed radiofrequency therapy is an
effective, safe, nonradiative, and easily applicable
treatment modality in older adults with KOA. It has
a positive effect on geriatric syndromes, especially
polypharmacy.
