Pulsed radiofrequency energy (PRFE) – a little known gem in the
armoury of physical therapies for MSK management?
Radiofrequency energy treatment has been used for some decades in the
management of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. More recently, devices have
become miniaturised, portable and available in the UK as an over-thecounter (OTC) ‘topical’ analgesic for localized MSK pain and injury (ActiPatch®
BioElectronics Corporation, MD, USA).
As an acute muscle pain treatment, the ActiPatch device has been
demonstrated to significantly reduce postoperative pain and the requirement
for narcotic pain medications in submuscular breast augmentation patients.
In two chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions, plantar fasciitis and
osteoarthritis of the knee, the device was also found to significantly reduce
pain and medication use.
This talk will review the efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness of this form of
physical therapy to assist practitioners in decision making on the use of this
treatment for their patients.
