About Neurotomy

Neurotomy, also known as radiofrequency ablation or nerve ablation, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a neurologist to provide long-term pain relief by selectively disrupting the function of specific sensory nerves. Using advanced imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, a specialized needle is precisely positioned near the targeted nerve. Controlled thermal energy (radiofrequency) is then applied to create a small lesion on the nerve, interrupting its ability to transmit pain signals to the brain. This procedure is commonly used for chronic pain conditions like facet joint arthritis, sacroiliac joint pain, and certain types of headaches, offering a valuable alternative when conservative treatments like medications and physical therapy have been ineffective. It is an outpatient procedure with a relatively quick recovery time.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive procedure with no surgical incision required.Provides targeted, long-lasting pain relief (often 6 months to 2 years).Performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day.Uses precise imaging guidance for accurate nerve targeting, maximizing effectiveness and safety.Offers an alternative for patients who have not found relief from medications, injections, or physical therapy.Typically has a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic facet joint pain (zygapophysial joint pain) in the neck (cervical) or lower back (lumbar).
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction causing persistent lower back and buttock pain.
Occipital neuralgia, causing chronic headache pain at the back of the head.
Certain types of trigeminal neuralgia or other cranial nerve pain syndromes.
Chronic knee or hip joint pain originating from specific sensory nerves (genicular nerve ablation).
Diagnostic nerve blocks that have provided significant temporary pain relief, confirming the nerve as the pain source.

How to prepare

Consultation with your neurologist to review medical history, medications, and confirm the procedure's suitability.
You may be asked to stop taking certain blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin, ibuprofen) several days before the procedure.
Inform your doctor of all allergies, especially to local anesthetics, contrast dye, or latex.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as sedation may be used.
Fast (no food or drink) for a specified number of hours before the procedure if sedation is planned.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

Common temporary side effects include soreness, bruising, or swelling at the needle insertion site.
Temporary increase in pain (pain flare) for a few days after the procedure.
Risk of infection, bleeding, or nerve damage at the treatment site, though these are rare.
Numbness or a burning sensation in the treated area, which is usually temporary but can occasionally be prolonged.
Allergic reaction to the local anesthetic or contrast material (if used).
Very rare risk of damage to nearby structures depending on the treatment location.

Recovery & hospital stay

You will be monitored in a recovery area for 30-60 minutes after the procedure.
Rest is recommended for the remainder of the day. You can resume light activities the next day.
Apply ice packs to the injection site to reduce swelling and discomfort.
You may experience some soreness or a temporary pain flare; your doctor will prescribe appropriate pain medication.
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or prolonged bending for the first week.
Follow-up with your neurologist as scheduled to assess pain relief, which may take 1-3 weeks to become fully apparent.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for full effect and return to normal activities
