Radiofrequency generators should not be confused with high frequency (greater than 3 MHz) tumor ablation devices, or with general-purpose electrosurgical units used to cut and coagulate tissue. Radiofrequency generators produce a protein-denaturing alternating current that is used to selectively obliterate certain tissues without collateral damage to surrounding tissue. Nerve lesioning applications include treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (a form of chronic facial pain) and severe lower back and leg pain by obliterating pain-carrying nerve fibers.
