A Sympathetic Ganglion, High-voltage Pulsed Radiofrequency Ablation of Peripheral Neuralgia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The Sham Operation Group was used as control, the patients were assessed with the Digital Rating Scale (NRS) , the quality of life-related scale (Euro Qol) , clinical outcome measures: physician's overall impression of changes in pain (CGIC) and patient's overall impression change scale (PGIC) , skin temperature measurement, toe Oxygenation measurement, and anxiety and depression scores (Gad-7, Phq-9) , objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high voltage pulsed radiofrequency in the treatment of peripheral neuralgia in patients with diabetic foot.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: A group First receive pulse radio frequency treatment and then receive sham operation treatment |
Radiation: Pulsed radio frequency therapy
Pulse Radio Frequency mode is a high voltage and low temperature Radio Frequency mode formed by discontinuous and pulsed current around nerve tissue
Other: sham operation
The means to achieve double-blind treatment had no practical effect on the subjects

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Numeric Rating Scale [up to 4 months]
Numeric Rating Scale is the most widely used one-dimensional assessment scale，The higher the number, the more severe the pain
