Selective nerve root blocks: a new technique using electrical stimulation.
Selective nerve root blocks (SNRB) have been used for many years as a diagnostic tool in patients with low back pain with radicular symptoms. However the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity of these blocks has been questioned as a screening tool for spine surgery. The utility of current SNRB techniques relies primarily on the relief of pain when local anesthetic is injected. However, patient...
متن کاملUltrasonography Evaluation of Vulnerable Vessels Around Cervical Nerve Roots During Selective Cervical Nerve Root Block
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of vulnerable blood vessels around cervical nerve roots before cervical nerve root block in the clinical setting. METHODS This retrospective study included 74 patients with cervical radiculopathy who received an ultrasonography-guided nerve block at an outpatient clinic from July 2012 to July 2014. Before actual injection of the steroid was performed, we e...
متن کاملTreatment Outcomes of Intradiscal Steroid Injection/selective Nerve Root Block for 161 Patients with Cervical Radiculopathy
Patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR) were treated with intradiscal injection of steroids (IDIS) and/or selective nerve root block (SNRB) at our hospital. We retrospectively report the outcomes of these nonsurgical treatments for CR. 161 patients who were followed up for >2months were enrolled in this study. Patients' clinical manifestations were classified as arm pain, arm numbness, neck a...
متن کاملValue of diagnostic lumbar selective nerve root block: a prospective controlled study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although diagnostic lumbar selective nerve root blocks are often used to confirm the pain-generating nerve root level, the reported accuracy of these blocks has been variable and their usefulness is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic lumbar selective nerve root blocks to analyze potential causes of false results in a prospe...
متن کاملCT-guided cervical selective nerve root block with a dorsal approach.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cervical transforaminal blocks are frequently performed to treat cervical radicular pain. These blocks are performed mostly under fluoroscopy, but a CT-guided technique has also been described. The aim of this study was to review the results of CT-guided CSNRB by using a dorsal approach, to describe the contrast patterns achieved with this injection technique, and to esti...
