PAIN :PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY AND NERVEBLOCKS

This technique involves reinforcing collapsed bony vertebrae in the spinal column by bone cement.  They effectively relieve the pain associated with these fractured collapsed vertebrae and give significant relief to these patients who suffer from restricted mobility due to the presence of pain.

In certain patients with advanced malignancies to provide palliative pain relief nerve plexuses can be blocked by image guided injections. Celiac ganglion block, superior hypogastric block, internal pudendal nerve block to name a few.
