Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether continuous infusion of cooled saline during pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment alters the mean electrical power output (W) within the same procedure in lumbar and sacral nerve root blocks.
Secondary outcomes include impedance changes, temperature-related parameters, and safety outcomes.
