Electrical stimulation to the central or peripheral neural conduction paths has been utilized in clinics to achieve effective pain relief [2]. The conventional scheme for pulsed radio-frequency (PRF) pain therapy uses thermal coagulation to permanently damage nerves by heat. This destructive method can cause severe side-effects such as hyper-sensitivity to pain after nerves regenerate. Thus, repeated surgery is needed. Additionally, the
