摘要
This report describes a novel technique for the treatment of recalcitrant greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GPTS) by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the greater trochanteric sensory nerve (GTsn). Here, we describe one patient suffering from recalcitrant GTPS treated with RFA of the GTsn in the outpatient pain clinic setting. Over the eight months subsequent to treatment, the patient was monitored for changes in the Numerical Pain Rating (NPR) and Lower Extremity Functional Score (LEFS). The patient demonstrated meaningful symptomatic and functional improvement as measured by both NPR and LEFS. GTsn RFA may be a viable treatment option for recalcitrant GTPS. Larger comparative trials are needed to establish improved results over conventional treatments.
