Anesthesia and Pain Medicine
Radiofrequency Therapy for Pain Management in Dogs
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and pulse-dosed radiofrequency (PRF) are therapies used in people to treat chronic pain, including osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Neither has been researched in dogs for chronic pain management but could be highly effective, long-lasting means of relieving OA pain when other treatments fail.
Eligibility: Dogs seen by the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) with stifle (knee) pain that is difficult to control with other treatments.
