What is nervous ablation?
nervous ablation is a surgical technique that destroys nerve or worsens its functionality. Originally carried out by cutting or other direct forms of contact, surgeons are now carried out by electromagnetic radiation on the nerve, called radiofrequency ablation or lesions. This procedure has less complications than the main surgery and can be performed in an outpatient environment, often as a technique of pain treatment. In addition to the treatment of nerve pain pain, ablation is sometimes used to reduce involuntary movements caused by brain palsy and experimentally applied to treat high blood pressure by targeting the nerves that regulate the water of the kidneys and absorption of sodium.
Most forms of nerve ablation are outpatient surgical treatment that involves damage or destruction of non -functional nerve. This process was originally made by rhizotomy, cut, freezing or cauterizing the roots of the sensory nerve at the point where they enter the lower cord, either to alleviate pain or spasticity. A newer procedure,Radiofrequency nervous ablation, applies electromagnetic radiation in the form of heat or electromagnetic pulse to the target nerve. This method does not destroy the nerve, but only lowers the sensitivity of the pain.
Radiofrequency ablation is commonly used to relax pain passed to the brain sensory nerve roots in the spine. One method, radiofrequency denervation, damages these nerves by high temperature application, while pulse radiofrequency nerve ablation indirectly reduces the sensitivity of neurons to pain signals and the ability to transfer these signals to the brain. During surgery, surgeons put the catheter into the nerve of the anesthetic patient and supply the pulses of electromagnetic radiation to reduce sensitivity. Surgeons also use nervous ablation to destroy part of the trigeminal nerve as a treatment of the face of the face in patients who do not respond to medical approaches.
radiofrequency rhizotomy block nervesFilm impulses that cause spastic muscle movement of the type affecting patients who have brain palsy. The involuntary contraction of the spastic muscles is caused by signals from certain nerves that are blocked when ablation on the appropriate nerve roots. Brain palsy can regain more control over their movement after they receive nerve ablation treatment. Usually more than one peripheral nerve will require treatment to improve muscle control.
Renal sympathetic nerves are an important part of the body control system and control the water and balance of sodium. Their selective ablation was discovered to ease hypertension. Historically, this was performed by surgical destruction of nerve roots in patients in which the pharmaceutical reduction of blood pressure has shown ineffective. One experimental procedure, ablation of the sympathetic nerve of the kidneys, applies radiofrequency treatment instead of surgical cutting to destroy the relevant eperential nerves. PreliminaryClinical studies appreciated the technique of its effectiveness.
