Ultrasound 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-Guided Versus Fluoroscopy-Guided Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection for the Treatment of Unilateral Lower Lumbar Radicular Pain
The aim of the article is to investigate the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI) compared with fluoroscopy (FL)-guided CESI in patients with unilateral lower lumbar radicular pain. This case-controlled, retrospective, comparative study was done at the university hospital. A total of 110 patients treated with US- or FL-guided CESI were administered a mixtu...
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 کاملComparison of Ultrasonography- and Fluoroscopy-Guided Facet Joint Block in the Lumbar Spine
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE Facet joint block is performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes and generally carried out under computerd tomography (CT) or radiologic fluoroscopy guidance. Ultrasonography-guided facet block has recently been attempted. So, we compared the results of ultrasonography-guided facet joint block with the results of fluoroscopy-guided facet joint bl...
متن کاملUltrasound versus fluoroscopy in image-guided pain treatment: use caution.
T HE use of ultrasound to guide placement of peripheral nerve blocks has dramatically changed the practice of regional anesthesia, but the use of this imaging modality to facilitate interventional pain treatment has been slow to be embraced. There are many reasons for the slow penetration of the use of ultrasound in to the pain clinic, but foremost among them are the widespread availability and...
