On November 4, 2026, HAI AU MEDTECH co-organized a scientific workshop themed “Radiofrequency Interventions in Refractory Chronic Pain: Current Evidence and Clinical Applications” at University Medical Center HCMC.
The program featured dedicated lectures by esteemed pain specialist Dr. Olav Rohof (MD, PhD, FIPP) along with physicians, specialists, and medical staff. Beyond updating cutting-edge academic insights, the workshop established a dynamic forum for clinical exchange, case discussion, and national networking among pain management practitioners across Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam.

During the session, Dr. Olav Rohof shared profound professional expertise and extensive real-world clinical experience regarding two primary radiofrequency techniques:
- Continuous Radiofrequency (RF): Applying targeted thermal energy to sensory nerve pathways, offering sustained pain relief for indicated chronic conditions.
- Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF): Delivering short bursts of high-voltage energy for electrical neuromodulation without destructive tissue heating, expanding intervention options for refractory pain.
The practical, evidence-based discussions provided physicians with enhanced diagnostic acuity and therapeutic strategies for patient-specific procedural planning.

This workshop represented a significant milestone in bridging medical communities from the North, Central, and South regions of Vietnam. Exchanging hands-on techniques, reviewing complex cases, and adopting contemporary interventions fosters enduring partnerships across healthcare facilities nationwide.
Moving beyond an isolated educational seminar, this initiative actively cultivates a collaborative pain management network where physicians continuously share findings, optimize protocols, and elevate patient care standards.
Through the workshop at University Medical Center HCMC, Hai Au Medtech reaffirms its unwavering dedication to empowering healthcare professionals, advancing medical innovation, and fostering national clinical solidarity.
Hai Au Medtech firmly believes that continuous medical training and nationwide specialist collaboration will facilitate widespread access to modern pain relief treatments, bringing tangible benefits to chronic pain patients throughout Vietnam.
