Ultrasound-guided injections in the middle and lower cervical spine.
Injection therapies play a major role in the treatment of cervical pain and are becoming integral parts of a multidisciplinary approach in treatment and rehabilitation of such patients. Pararadicular- and facet-joint injections in the cervical spine are preferentially performed under computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy-guidance. In this article we present an alternative, simple and easy to ...
متن کاملThe use of a simulation center to improve resident proficiency in performing ultrasound-guided procedures.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES With advancements in technology and push for health care reform and reduced costs, minimally invasive procedures, such as those that are ultrasound-guided, have become an essential part of radiology, and are used in many divisions of radiology. By incorporating standardized training methodologies in a risk free environment through utilization of a simulation center with...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block. Anatomical Study
Ultrasound-guided blocks of the cervical plexus are established anesthetic procedures for carotid endarterectomies. However, the innervation of the cervical region is complex and subject to relevant anatomical variability. Involved are portions of the cervical and brachial plexus and cranial nerves (IX,X-functional and sensory innervation of the arterial vessel wall; VII-platysma, XIsternocleid...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided versus Fluoroscopy-Guided Deep Cervical Plexus Block for the Treatment of Cervicogenic Headache
BACKGROUND Cervicogenic headache descriptors include its unilateral nature, "signs and symptoms linking it to the neck," and trauma of the neck. Since the pain often occurs over the C2 or C3 nerve root, we used a modification of the deep cervical block technique for treatment of this refractory type headache. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of a modified deep cervical block for treatment ...
متن کاملUltrasound versus fluoroscopy-guided medial branch block for the treatment of lower lumbar facet joint pain
The aim of this study was to compare the mid-term effects and benefits of ultrasound (US)-guided and fluoroscopy (FL)-guided medial branch blocks (MBBs) for chronic lower lumbar facet joint pain through pain relief, functional improvement, and injection efficiency evaluation.Patients with chronic lumbar facet joint pain who received US (n = 68) or FL-guided MBBs (n = 78) were included in this r...
