    1 Draft recommendations

    1.1 Radiofrequency denervation for osteoarthritic knee pain may be used if standard arrangements are in place for clinical governance, consent and audit. Find out what standard arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

    1.2 The procedure should only be done by clinicians with specific training and experience in this procedure.

    Why the committee made these recommendations

    There is good evidence to show that this procedure relieves pain in the short term. There are no major safety concerns, and the complications, including numbness, are well recognised.
