Interventional pain management involves special procedures to treat and manage pain. “Interventional” procedures might include an injection of an anesthetic medicine or steroid around nerves, tendons, joints or muscles; spinal cord stimulation; insertion of a drug delivery system; or a procedure with radio-frequency ablation or cryoablation to stop a nerve from working for a long period of time.
These techniques may help patients:
- Reduce the amount of time pain is experienced and its severity
- Allow for an increase in activities at home and work
- Overcome isolation
- Learn new skills for coping with pain
- Determine ways to end sleep problems
- Improve the quality of life
- Rehabilitate
