An interventional pain procedure is a medical treatment used to manage and reduce chronic pain, particularly when conservative methods like medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes aren’t providing enough relief. These procedures often involve the use of injections, nerve blocks, or other minimally invasive techniques to directly target the source of pain. The goal is to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance the patient’s quality of life.
Common Types Of Interventional Pain Procedures & The Conditions Or Symptoms They Treat
- What is a Nerve Block? A nerve block involves injecting an anesthetic (sometimes combined with a steroid) near specific nerves to interrupt pain signals.
- When is a Nerve Block used? For pain caused by conditions like arthritis, sciatica, or post-surgical pain.
- What are Epidural Steroid Injections? A steroid medication is injected into the epidural space of the spine to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, especially in conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
- When are Epidural Steroid Injections used? For back pain, leg pain, and conditions affecting the spine.
- What is a Facet Joint Injection? Injections into the facet joints (small joints in the spine) to reduce inflammation and pain.
- When is a Facet Joint Injection used? For pain from conditions like facet joint osteoarthritis.
- What is Radiofrequency Ablation? A procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy nerve tissue that is transmitting pain signals, typically used for neck, back, and joint pain.
- When is Radiofrequency Ablation used? For long-term pain relief, especially in cases of arthritis or chronic back pain.
- What is a Spinal Cord Stimulation Device? A device is implanted near the spinal cord to send electrical impulses that interfere with pain signals.
- When is a Spinal Cord Stimulation Device used to treat? For patients with chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
- What are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty? These procedures involve injecting a cement-like material into a fractured vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain, often used for vertebral compression fractures.
- When are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty used? For pain from spinal fractures, commonly due to osteoporosis.
