It has been observed that the deterioration in the physical performance of the hip, the medical need before the specialist consultation and the deterioration in the health status can progress treatment\[3\]. When conservative treatment methods such as physical therapy and weight change, the use of walking aids (such as a cane) and analgesic agents are used, these interruptions usually provide short-term and partial benefits. After the application of medical treatment procedures, hip prostheses are usually separated. However, the additional diseases of the patients, the fact that the surgery is a major surgery and the mortality rate is high, and the life of the prostheses used are limited have led to the search for alternative pain palliation.
Hip joint radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a procedure performed in our clinic. In this study, we aimed to examine the long-term effects of hip RFT on pain and functional capacity changes in patients.
Being over 18 years of age
Having received written consent
Those with chronic hip pain lasting longer than 3 weeks
Major psychiatric disease
Patients with lumbar pressure pain or referred pain
Patients using anticoagulant agents
Patients with infection in the area to be treated
Patients who underwent conventional RF will be included in the prospective studies titled "Treatment of chronic hip pain with conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation to the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves" and "Comparison of conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation to the articular branches of the femoral and obturator nerves with intra-articular steroid injection and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in chronic hip pain" (theses of assistant Sevilay Şimşek Karaoğlu and Bilge Ergün, respectively) conducted in our clinic.

Diagnostic testIt includes 24 questions under three sub-headings as pain, stiffness and physical function
