Title Reviews

"This book overviews radiofrequency ablation with respect to temperature, duration requirements, the need for motor or sensory nerve testing, and the location of vulnerable structures in proximity to the target nerve. It covers the physiology of radiofrequency ablation and its role in pain medicine. The book is comprehensive in discussing all forms of indications and more importantly, contraindications and risks. The eBook offers flashcards, highlighting, and links to references." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Robert R. Gaiser, MD (Yale School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
