Under X-ray (fluoroscopy) guidance, an introducer needle is advanced into the targeted nerve. The radiofrequency probe is then placed through the introducer needle and the target nerves are anesthetized. Radiofrequency ablation is then performed, which typically lasts from 90-150 seconds. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete.
