. A typical discTRODE procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your particular treatment situation. The procedure can typically be done on an outpatient basis. Radiofrequency treatment of tissue blocks pain signals for a prolonged period. However, the human body does regenerate pain pathways over time, and symptoms may recur. The discTRODE procedure is minimally invasive, so there is no need for a surgical incision. Prior to the procedure, your doctor will use a small needle to inject a local anaesthetic into your skin, which will reduce any discomfort. Alert your doctor if you feel uncomfortable at any time during the procedure. Before you begin to enjoy the benefits of prolonged pain relief, you may experience an increase in pain during the first several days following the procedure. Adhere to your doctor’s instructions to avoid negatively impacting the healing process.
