Publication number: 20100222777Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating an intraosseous nerve. The method includes positioning a hollow shaft through the cortical shell of a vertebral body and into a cancellous bone region of the vertebral body. The hollow shaft includes an annular wall having a longitudinal bore therein, a proximal portion and a distal portion, and a first window extending transversely through the annular wall. An electrosurgical probe is advanced within the longitudinal bore from the proximal portion toward the distal portion. The electrosurgical probe includes a first treatment element at a distal end of the probe, wherein the first treatment element being in electrical connection with a power supply. The first treatment element is slidably disposed within the longitudinal bore so that the first treatment element is advanced radially outward from the window and shaft to affect treatment of the intraosseous nerve within the cancellous bone region.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2009Publication date: September 2, 2010Applicant: RELIEVANT MEDSYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Sutton, Thomas Ryan, Samit Patel, Richard Pellegrino

Publication number: 20100094269Abstract: System and methods are shown having a tube-within-tube assembly with a deployable curved deflectable tube or cannula that deploys from a straight cannula or trocar. The curved cannula has pre-curved distal end to create an angular range of 0° to 180° when fully deployed from the straight trocar. The curve is configured such that the flexible element carrying a treatment device can navigate through the angular range of deployment of the curved cannula. The curved cannula allows the flexible element to navigate through a curve within bone without veering off towards an unintended direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Applicant: RELIEVANT MEDSYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Richard Pellegrino, Samit Patel, Harold Carrison
