Transcutaneous PRF (TcPRF)

Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (TcPRF) is a non-invasive application of PRF in which electrodes are placed on the skin to deliver controlled electromagnetic fields into underlying tissues and / or joints.

Unlike invasive PRF, which requires needle placement near nerves, TcPRF can be applied painlessly in an outpatient or rehabilitation setting. It is particularly suited for joint pain, neuropathic pain or patients who are not candidates for invasive procedures.

TcPRF has demonstrated effects on reducing oxidative stress and local inflammation. This, in turn, decreases the sensitivity of pain pathways and improves comfort and mobility. Multiple sessions (3 - 4 with an interval of 2 weeks) are often needed, but the non-destructive, repeatable nature of TcPRF makes it a promising tool in multidisciplinary pain care. Its safety profile allows it to be combined with physiotherapy and exercise, enhancing overall outcomes.
