Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of radiofrequency thermocoagulation on the quality of life in patients with cancer pain. Methods A total of 77 patients with quadripleal cancer pain were involved and divided into two groups according to will of patients and their families: radiofrequency thermocoagulation group and nerve block group. Both groups underwent DSA-guided percutaneous puncture to the external orifice of the intervertebral foramen of the target nerve. The radiofrequency and neurostimulators were used to stimulate the dorsal root ganglion for temperature-controlled radiofrequency thermocoagulation or injection of anti-inflammatory analgesic solution. The pain score, muscle strength score and quality of life were recorded at time before treatment, 1 day and 7 days after treatment. Results The VAS score and muscle strength score were improved in the observation group than those in the control group (P?0.01). QLQ-C30 scale scores were obviously improved in observation group on the 7th day after treatment when compared with that in the control group ((P?0.01). Conclusions Radiofrequency thermocoagulation exerts good curative effect on limb cancer pain without obvious compromising motor function of limbs.
