Purpose Of Review:
Examining the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in treating headache conditions.
Recent Findings:
The efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in treating headache conditions is not well studied. Chronic headache conditions can be difficult to treat with little consensus on management of headaches associated with pericranial neuralgias. In this retrospective study, we found that radiofrequency ablation is an effective and safe treatment for resistant headache conditions. This study is important as it describes a novel treatment for chronic headache which can benefit a large number of patients.

Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
