Radiofrequency ablation of the genicular nerve is performed for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) when conservative treatment is not effective. Chemical ablation may be an alternative, but its effectiveness and safety have not been examined. The objective of this prospective open‐label cohort study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound‐guided chemical neurolysis for genicular nerves with phenol to treat patients with chronic pain from KOA.
