Chondromalacia Patellae Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Efficiency of Radiofrequency Ablation Therapy Applied to the Intermedius Genicular Nerve in the Treatment of Patients With Chondromalacia Patella
Radiofrequency application is a treatment method that temporarily prevents the transmission of pain in the nerve where the application is made through the heat emitted by radio waves.Partial inhibition of the functions of the nerves carrying the joint pain sensation with this method is the basis of the treatment.The intermedius genicular nerve carries the sensation of subpatellar pain due to chondromalacia.In this study,investigators aim is to investigate the effect of radiofrequency neurotomy applied to the intermedius genicular nerve, which receives the sensation of the patella, on pain and knee function in patients with a diagnosis of chondromalacia patella who have anterior knee pain that does not resolve despite conservative treatment, under the guidance of ultrasonography.
The study was designed as prospective, randomized, controlled trial. 46 people who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups of 23 people. The first group will be designated as Nerve blockage group and nerve blocking program will be applied to these patients. Patients in the second group will be designated as the Radiofrequency group and radiofrequency ablation after the blockade program will be applied in accordance with the radiofrequency ablation protocol.Participants were evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Patello Femoral Pain Severity Scale (PFPSS), Kuala's Patellofemoral Scoring System (KPSS). ;
