Survey of Sonoanatomic Distances For Lumbar Medial Branch Nerve Blocks in Healthy Volunteers
BACKGROUND The precise knowledge of anatomy and the region of transverse process (TP) and superior articular processes (AP) and their distance from the skin are important in blocking and treating lumbar facet syndrome. Evaluation of these anatomic distances from 3rd and 5th lumbar vertebrae in both sides and in different body mass index (BMI) in healthy volunteers might improve knowledge of ult...
متن کاملTransverse Process and Needles of Medial Branch Block to Facet Joint as Landmarks for Ultrasound-Guided Selective Nerve Root Block
BACKGROUND Selective lumbar nerve root block (SNRB) is generally accepted as an effective treatment method for back pain with sciatica. However, it requires devices producing radioactive materials such as C-arm fluoroscopy. This study evaluated the usefulness of the longitudinal view of transverse process and needles for medial branch block as landmarks under ultrasonography. METHODS We perfo...
متن کاملThe benefit of therapeutic medial branch blocks after cervical operations.
BACKGROUND Persistent neck pain is a common problem after surgery of the cervical spine. No therapy recommendation exists for these patients. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine if a therapeutic medial branch block is a rational treatment for patients with postoperative neck pain after cervical spine operations. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective practice audit. SETTING Review ...
متن کاملUtility of nerve conduction studies for diagnosis of injury to the medial branch of the superficial radial nerve
Introduction The clinical utility of nerve conduction study (NCS) for the distal medial branch of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) has not yet been clarified. Therefore, we investigated the clinical utility of NCS in patients with suspected SRN injury and compared the results with those in healthy control subjects. Methods Bilateral NCS of the medial branch of the SRN was performed in two p...
متن کاملCervicogenic Dizziness Successfully Treated With Upper Cervical Medial Branch Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation: A Case Report
Cervicogenic dizziness is a sensation of disequilibrium caused by abnormal afferent activity from the neck. Its diagnosis and treatment are challenging. In a case of cervicogenic dizziness, we performed diagnostic upper cervical medial branch nerve blocks with near complete symptomatic relief for around 20 hours. Radiofrequency ablation of these nerves resulted in near complete relief for 7 mon...
