Pain treatment


Persistent pain or chronic pain is extremely stressful for patients. It often triggers a series of secondary reactions such as muscle tension, shortening and hardening. The resulting relieving postures adopted by patients in turn place strain on structures that are actually healthy. Overall, acute pain and chronic pain is a major challenge for patients and the treatment team. Interventional pain treatment offers an effective treatment option for chronic pain.

Treatment of chronic pain using neurodestructive procedures


Interventional pain treatment uses minimally invasive procedures to selectively interrupt or change the conduction of pain in the affected nerve pathways. Under visual control and control by electrical stimulation, electrodes or probes are inserted in a targeted manner and the treatment is carried out. This can provide relief for pain patients suffering from severe chronic back pain.

Two minimally invasive neurodestructive procedures that are frequently used and effective are cryoanalgesia and thermolesion.

In cryoanalgesia, chronic pain is eliminated by applying cold to the peripheral nerves. Freezing causes axonotmesis (severing of the axon), in which the sheath structure remains intact and allows the nerve to regenerate over time. The C3 CryoSystem ensures high comfort and effectiveness during cryoanalgesia. Chronic pain can be treated with thermolesion of the nerve. When correctly indicated, RF thermolesion is an extremely precise, effective and safe method with a wide range of applications for combating pain. The ability to work extremely precisely with very thin instruments is particularly advantageous. The LG lesion generators offer the latest technology for efficient pain treatment with a wide range of possible applications.

FAQ

How are the corresponding nerves localised during the procedure?

The target nerves can be localised using a variety of visual methods, such as X-rays, ultrasound or CT. For precise determination, the nerve is localised by electrical stimulation.

How is the starting point of chronic pain identified?

In order to identify the source of chronic pain, an infiltration is carried out before treatment with cryoanalgesia or thermolesion. If this has a positive effect, you can be sure that the cause of the pain has this point of origin.
