Brief Ambulatory Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Improves Phantom Pain
Investigators sought to determine the effects of 6-day continuous peripheral nerve block on phantom limb pain as well as physical and emotional dysfunction.
Interventional Pain Management
Neurosurgery for Craniofacial Pain Syndromes: Update and Expert Interview
Many patients with craniofacial pain syndromes such as trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, and migraine have an adequate response to pharmacologic therapies.
Discussion of Greater Occipital Nerve Block for Chronic Migraine
The authors refute a systematic review and meta-analysis of literature on greater occipital nerve block for the treatment of chronic migraine headaches by Shauly and colleagues and published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, citing extensive limitations and claiming the study ultimately raises more questions than answers.
Transversus Abdominis Plane Block May Improve Acute and Chronic Pain After Robotic Partial Nephrectomy
The use of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block in combination with general anesthesia during robotic partial nephrectomy may improve postoperative morphine consumption, the intensity of acute somatic pain, and the incidence of chronic pain.
Transversus Abdominis Plane Block May Improve Opioid Use, Pain After Cesarean Section
The use of a transversus abdominis plane block with intrathecal morphine associated with reduced opioid use after cesarean section.
Pulsed Radiofrequency May Relieve Trigeminal Postherpetic Neuralgia Pain
Computed tomography-guided pulsed radiofrequency therapy may offer pain relief, improve quality of life, and reduce medication use in patients with trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia.
Sacral Lateral Branch RF Ablation Effective for Sacroiliac Joint Complex Pain
Evidence suggests that radiofrequency ablation of the sacral lateral branches may provide relief for pain that originates from the posterior sacroiliac joint complex.
Pulsed Radiofrequency Neuromodulation of Suprascapular Nerve May Be Effective for Chronic Shoulder Pain
Ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation of the suprascapular nerve combined with injection of short-acting corticosteroids may safely and effectively relieve chronic shoulder pain.
Music Relieves Anxiety Before Peripheral Nerve Block
Patients undergoing preoperative peripheral nerve block placement have a similar change in anxiolytic scores when they receive music medicine versus midazolam.
