This procedure destroys small sensory nerves around the knee, called genicular nerves, using a heat-based or chemical technique, to reduce chronic knee pain. Imaging guidance is used, when needed, to precisely locate the nerves before treatment. It is often considered for people with ongoing knee pain, such as from arthritis, who have had good relief from a prior diagnostic nerve block.
