Chronic hip pain can be addressed with a procedure known as Cooled Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation, otherwise known as the Coolief Procedure. In this case, three of the nerves surrounding the hip are blocked under local anesthetic and then a needle attached to a radiofrequency device, a cooled radiofrequency device, is placed at the appropriate levels. The patient then can have up to 2 years of pain relief from this procedure.
