I had a Pulsed Radio frequency Ablation. I wasn't awake, I had that MAC sedation. It did not work and i woke up in more pain. I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted and have had great success with it. 50-75% relief from that burning nerve pain! Still have tremor, get cramps and aching pain but other meds help keep them bareable.

I wish I never did that procedure and recently I saw an article by Dr Schwartzman in which the article discussed how the radio frequency abliviation causes spread. I hope this helps you to make an informed decision as when I participated in the treatment I blindly trusted the Dr that recommended the procedure. After the treatment I left that Dr because he had nothing left to suggest after the RFA treatment caused the spread.
