Interventional pain medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating chronic pain through minimally invasive procedures. Here are some key aspects of this field:
Epidural Steroid Injections: Used to relieve pain in the neck, back, and legs by reducing inflammation around the spinal nerves.
Nerve Blocks: Injections that interrupt pain signals along specific nerves, such as the occipital nerve block for headaches or the celiac plexus block for abdominal pain.
Radiofrequency Ablation: Uses heat to destroy nerve fibers carrying pain signals, often used for chronic back and neck pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation: Involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord to reduce pain perception.
Intrathecal Drug Delivery: Delivers pain medication directly to the spinal fluid through an implanted pump.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: Procedures to stabilize compression fractures in the spine.
Endoscopic Discectomy: Minimally invasive surgery to remove herniated disc material causing nerve compression.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: Uses electrical impulses to target specific peripheral nerves for pain relief.
Chronic Back and Neck Pain: Often due to degenerative disc disease or spinal stenosis.
Neuropathic Pain: Such as diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia.
Cancer Pain: Managing pain associated with tumors or cancer treatments
