The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of phenol and radiofrequency ablation for genicular nerve neurolysis in severe knee pain. The invesigators compare the efficacy of radiofrequency and phenol applications on numerical pain score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universi- ties Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) before, 1 and 3 months after the procedure. The procedures will be performed by applying radiofrequency waves and phenol to the genicular nerves under ultrasound guidance.
