METHODS AND ABLATION SYSTEMS FOR BASIVERTEBRAL NERVE ABLATION USING SHORT, HIGH VOLTAGE PULSES

A method for basivertebral nerve ablation includes inserting at least one ablation electrode into a vertebral body of a patient; and applying pulses to the ablation electrode to ablate the basivertebral nerve within the vertebral body, wherein each of the pulses has a duration of no more than 500 mi...

Zusammenfassung:A method for basivertebral nerve ablation includes inserting at least one ablation electrode into a vertebral body of a patient; and applying pulses to the ablation electrode to ablate the basivertebral nerve within the vertebral body, wherein each of the pulses has a duration of no more than 500 microseconds and at least some of the pulses have a voltage of at least 1 kV or generate an electric field of at least 3 kV/cm.
