Interventional Pain

Management helps
overcome trauma of a
failed back treatment

Millions of people across the world
suffer from chronic back pain and
faulty spinal and vertebrae structure.
Many of these sufferers prefer
undergoing surgical corrections in
order to relieve themselves of a
lifetime of pain. As the beeline to the
medical centres grow in volume, the
approach towards an invasive
procedure seems the most obvious
choice for both the patient as well as
the health specialist. Advancement in
surgical procedures and handy
equipments has pushed the idea of
Interventional pain management to
new heights.
Medical Research intersecting with Pain management
In medical parlance, Interventional
pain management implies the use of
invasion into the subcutaneous layers
of the skin so as to relieve the pain at
the direct centre. Techniques like joint
injections on facet and nerve blocks
are gaining wide-scale popularity
owing to their local applications. The
latter technique is essentially done by
channelling the pain receptors from
one gateway to another so as to dilute
its overall effect. Other techniques that
are fascinatingly doing a round of
research belong to principles of
neurological sensor augmentation.
The technique majorly involves
the simulation of spinal cord
tunnel and revitalizing the
damaged bridges of the
peripheral nervous system.
Damaged spine arising from a
failed back surgery treatment
necessarily might involve the
application of just one or an
assortment of cumulative
compound pain management
techniques. Meddling with
specific drug delivery doses also
help in getting relief from the pain
if taken in correct dosages. Using
epidural steroids injection on
patients marks a trend that is a
guaranteed pain reliever owing to
its regional analgesic property
supplemented by the neural
blockage imposed to direct pain
away from sensors.
Failed back surgery treatment cured with IPM
Once dreading close to being tagged as a non-potent pain reliever
management, Interventional Pain management has grown in
stature owing to field and lab research done in over the last five
decades. The applaud able clinical work done by pain management
specialist, Steven Waldman is now the smiling factor behind
healthy life habits of chronic back pain sufferers.
Fusing local treatment with smart treatment
Interventional approach includes
application of epidural steroid injection
that has been used in health centres of
Philadelphia and they have reportedly
witnessed a strongly positive feedback
from the procedure. Similar results
have arrived from the centres that
used electrical stimulus to the dorsal
region of the spinal cord helps in
inducing regional analgesia. Surgical
procedures that have resulted in
chronic back issues border on the lines
of a failed back treatment.
Using classified drug dosages in the category of morphine,
hydromorphone and sufentanyl injected into the subarachnoid
cavity is preferred to cut down the cascading pain effects.
American Society of Regional Anesthesia regulates the
procedures involved in the IPM program.
As more research teams join hands to identify the receptors
involved in the mechanism of neurological stimulation, surgical
procedures may well become a last bound scenario.
