Burning nerve endings in the neck, often referred to as radiofrequency ablation, is a medical procedure used to alleviate chronic pain. During this procedure, a thin needle is inserted near the nerve, and radiofrequency energy is applied to create heat, which disrupts the nerve's ability to transmit pain signals. This technique is minimally invasive and can provide significant relief for conditions such as cervical radiculopathy or facet joint pain. It typically requires local anesthesia and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
