Abstract
Hip arthroplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures for pain relief due to coxarthrosis. However, the operation is contraindicated for some elderly patients because of multiple co-morbidities. On the other hand, conventional drugs either have too many side effects or are ineffective. Major symptoms of patients with hip pain include groin, thigh and trochanteric pain. In recent years, pulsed mode radiofrequency has been used to manage a wide spectrum of chronic pain modalities, and in clinical models in treatment such as myofascial trigger points, phantom limb pain, occipital neuralgia, meralgia paraesthetica and premature ejaculation (1–5). Pulsed mode radiofrequency produces fewer histopathological changes than conventional radiofrequency and takes advantage of a significant reduction in complications or side effects (6).
