Treatments
Experimental: Group I will be treated with Cryoneurolysis
Cryoneurolysis freezes nerves
Experimental: Group II will be treated with pulsed radiofrequency (RF)
radiofrequency (RF) uses electric pulses
Experimental: Group III will be treated with cooled radiofrequency (RF)
uses cooled radiofrequency energy to deactivate pain-causing nerves
