pulsed radiofrequency
Recently we had a discussion on where we might get pulsed radioifrequency treatments for pelvic nerve problems. I e-mailed Cleveland Clinic and asked if they would do it on PFCN and eventually received a nice letter replying "yes, that is something they do". I assume they would also work on the pudendal nerve as well so for those of you looking you may choose to consider this. Hope this helps someone. I believe the downside is getting insurance to pay any of the bill. Hugs to all who need one, Judy c
Re: pulsed radiofrequency
Hi Judy,
To the best of my knowledge, most insurance providers do cover pulsed radiofrequency. Not sure about the Cleveland Clinic, though. The people I know who have had this procedure had it done by their PM doctor. You may want to check with them about the PN. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression this procedure was for sensory nerves, only, which would include the PFCN.
I'll gratefully accept your cyber hug and right back atcha, Judy!
Best of regards,
Karyn
