Abstract
|
|
|
|
For precise diagnosis and therapeutic interventions for chronic lumbar pain, lumbar nerve block has been performed primarily by computed tomography or C-arm fluoroscopy. The use of such equipment has disadvantages in that both patient and surgeon are exposed to radiation, and it could be used in limited areas. The current role of ultrasound guidance for musculoskeletal intervention treatments has been reported. Recently, to compensate for such disadvantage and to be able to approach easily in the outpatient department, interest in ultrasound-guided lumbar nerve block is increasing, and several studies have reported relatively high success rates. However, ultrasound-guided intervention for lumbar nerve block has not been exactly described. Therefore, we conducted this review to evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound guided lumbar interventions.
