With advancements in healthcare, more people are living beyond 75, leading to an increase in knee pain cases. This poses challenges and opportunities for managing the aging population with knee problems. For seniors unable to undergo knee replacement surgery, alternative treatments like genicular nerve denervation offer hope. These options are vital, especially for elderly patients with life-limiting illnesses, where surgery may not be feasible. Genicular nerves play a crucial role in transmitting pain signals in the knee joint. By denervating or removing these nerves through procedures like radiofrequency ablation, patients can experience significant pain relief. Injections of stem cells or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) directly into the knee joint offer promising results in managing knee pain. These emerging therapies, like Syis, aim to improve pain control and mobility for seniors. Aster RV Hospital provides individualized pain management plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. By consulting the Department of Pain and Palliative Medicine, seniors can explore personalized solutions for their knee pain. For seniors navigating knee pain, non-surgical options like genicular nerve denervation and innovative treatments offer hope for improved mobility and pain relief. Embracing personalized pain management plans can enhance the quality of life for older individuals.
