Economic Evaluation of “Pulse Dose” Radiofrequency in the Treatment of Occipital Neuralgia Headache

Headache occipital neuralgia is an example of pain-disease for which treatment both pharmacological protocols and invasive methods are used. Among the latter, the RF (Radiofrequency) pulse-dose has been of interest for the prospects of analgesic efficacy, safety and patient compliance, although at the moment only data concerning the pulsed RF and not the RF pulse-dose, that represents its evolution, are discussed in scientific literature. The purpose of this study is a “simple” economic evaluation of this method in headache occipital neuralgia.
