Minimally invasive interventional therapy for pain

Abstract

Pain interventional therapy, known as the most promising medical technology in the 21st century, refers to clinical treatment technology based on neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, and nerve block technology to treat pain diseases. Compared with traditional destructive surgery, interventional pain therapy is considered a better and more economical choice of treatment. In recent years, a variety of minimally invasive pain interventional therapy techniques, such as neuroregulation, spinal cord electrical stimulation, intervertebral disc ablation, and intrasheath drug infusion systems, have provided effective solutions for the treatment of patients with post-herpetic neuralgia, complex regional pain syndrome, cervical/lumbar disc herniation, and refractory cancer pain.
