Transverse 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 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...
متن کاملultrasound guidance for interventional pain management of lumbar facet joint pain: an anatomical and clinical study
conclusion lumbar medial branch nerve block under ultrasound guidance was associated with high rates of treatment success and excellent treatment outcomes for facet joint pain. it is also feasible and administers no radiation. thus, ultrasound-guided procedures can be used instead of conventional methods. results the success rate was 98% (87/89 blocks), which was due to our use of ultrasound gu...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided cervical selective nerve root block: a fluoroscopy-controlled feasibility study.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Reports of intravascular injection during cervical transforaminal injections, even after confirmation by contrast fluoroscopy, have led some to question the procedure's safety. As ultrasound allows for visualization of soft tissues, nerves, and vessels, thus potentially improving precision and safety, we evaluated its feasibility in cervical nerve root injections. ME...
متن کاملThe Validation of Ultrasound-Guided Lumbar Facet Nerve Blocks as Confirmed by Fluoroscopy
STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective study. PURPOSE To develop a methodological approach for conducting ultrasound-guided lumbar facet nerve block by defining essential ultrasound-guided landmarks in order to assess the feasibility of this method. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE The current role of ultrasound guidance for musculoskeletal intervention treatments has been reported upon in previous liter...
