How much do you know about nerve block technology?

Nerve block technique is the professional skill of pain doctors in anesthesiology department. By accurately puncturing the corresponding damaged nerve root and injecting a small amount of anti-inflammatory and analgesic solution at the nearest nerve root, the damaged nerve can be repaired to the maximum extent and the side effects of drugs can be avoided.

Nerve block, the purpose is to repair, is to cure pain, not the destruction of nerves as some people think; It has the advantages of high efficiency, little injury and good analgesic effect. Just like the precision-guided bombs used in modern wars compared with traditional bombs.

Nerve block technology has been developed abroad as early as ten years ago. It is a treatment method of intervertebral disc herniation which integrates diagnosis technology and treatment technology. Diagnostic technique: When there are multiple intervertebral disc lesions, mixed signals will interfere with the accurate positioning of doctors. At this time, nerve block technology can be used. Under the guidance of imaging, drugs (local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory drugs) can be directly sent around the target nerve through a long injection needle, so as to achieve the effect of blocking a certain nerve with high precision, and at the same time, the improvement of patients' symptoms can be seen, which is also helpful to narrow the scope of later surgical treatment and achieve more accurate surgical positioning.

Treatment technology: For some patients whose clinical symptoms can not be relieved after conservative treatment and whose disc herniation is not serious after imaging examination, nerve block technology is an ideal treatment method at this stage.

After general nerve block, patients' symptoms can be improved in a short time. After improving local inflammation and scientific functional exercise, the intervertebral disc has the opportunity to return, that is, it can be restored to its original position, and it is also possible to avoid later surgical treatment.

In addition to the combination of diagnosis and treatment technology, nerve block has its own unique advantages: high injection accuracy and rapid onset. It is not a systemic drug like injection and medicine, and its effect is slow.
