Abstract
Interventional radiology continues to be at the forefront of acute and chronic pain management. Our unique imaging expertise and ability to target difficult to reach structures allows for the continuous development of new ways to treat a variety of pain generators. In addition, the advent of thermal ablation techniques and technologies has provided a unique opportunity to offer patients more durable and predictable options to treat their pain. This is particularly important during the opioid epidemic, as multiple local and international governmental bodies push for physicians to create ways to manage pain while reducing the need for long-term opioid dependence. This article aims to review various image-guided techniques and tools for the treatment of pain related to peripheral pain generators, with a focus on the extremities, lumbosacral and pelvic region, and the chest wall. For each target and pathology, we will discuss general etiology, anatomy, procedural approach, and briefly evaluate the supporting literature in each clinical situation.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
