Pain Management in Interventional Radiology
rather than solely as proceduralists, understanding and treating pain is a vital
part of daily practice. This book provides an overview of the multiple techni-
ques used in the management of pain in interventional radiology suites. Topics
include techniques for the treatment and prevention of pain caused by inter-
ventional procedures, as well as minimally invasive techniques used to treat
patients with chronic pain symptoms. Approximately half of the book is dedi-
cated to the diagnosis and treatment of spinal pain; other chapters focus on
intraprocedural and post-procedural pain management, embolization and
ablation techniques used to treat patients with uncontrollable pain, and alter-
native treatments for pain relief. This book is a practical resource for anyone
looking to acquire skills in locoregional or systemic pain control and wishing to
improve the quality of life for patients undergoing procedures or suffering from
disease-related pain.
