Standard treatment of cervical radicular pain due to cervical disc disease or neuroforaminal stenosis is performed utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, including neurophatic pain killers, physical therapy and epidural steroid injections. When cervical radicular pain is refractory to this treatment approach, spine surgery is often proposed. Pulsed radiofrequency of the cervical dorsal root ganglion is a valid alternative treatment to refractory cervical radicular pain. A clinical case is reported, where pulsed radiofrequency of the dorsal root ganglion was used with good results, utilizing the spanish version of the Brief Pain Inventory as an outcome evaluation tool

Keywords : Cervical radicular pain; Pulsed radiofrequency; Dorsal root ganglion; BriefPain Inventory; Foraminal stenosis.
