Objective: To document the effects of genicular nerve ablation in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis (OAJ) at 1 and 3 months. Methods: Prospective, randomized, and controlled trial with 35 patients with grade IV knee osteoarthritis according to Kelgren & Lawrence, undergoing genicular nerve ablation with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) or phenol. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the 30-Second Chair Stand Test (TSL30), and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Results: The groups were similar at baseline. Both groups improved similarly up to 3 months (p |
