Who is Interventional Radiology Consultation for Pain Management Suitable For?

  • Functional limitation and loss of independence: Cases where pain limits movement, work ability, or normal lifestyle, requiring a focused and safer solution.
  • Nerve pain: Conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, post-surgical pain, or nerve injury where nerve freezing or ablation treatments provide significant relief.
  • Oncology patients: Pain caused by tumor pressure or metastases on nerves can be treated with targeted therapies to improve quality of life even in advanced disease stages.
  • Post-surgery or trauma pain: Persistent pain after accidents, fractures, or orthopedic surgeries can be treated directly at the pain source to reduce reliance on painkillers and speed recovery.

  • Clear explanation and personal guidance — detailed information about treatment course, potential risks, and recovery process, in full cooperation with the patient.
  • Multidisciplinary approach — collaboration with oncologists, surgeons, and pain specialists as needed to provide comprehensive care.

Types of Pain Treatments Using Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology offers a variety of advanced treatments to relieve chronic or oncologic pain through minimally invasive procedures guided by precise imaging such as CT, fluoroscopy, or ultrasound:

  • Nerve Block: Injection of anesthetics or steroids around nerves transmitting pain signals for targeted relief and sometimes precise diagnosis of the pain source.
  • Nerve Ablation: Targeted destruction of nerves involved in pain transmission using radiofrequency, freezing, or ethanol injection. Provides long-lasting relief and reduces need for repeated treatments.
  • Nerve Freezing (Cryoneurolysis): Technique based on extreme cold that temporarily or permanently disables nerve function. Enables significant, long-term relief without surgery or ongoing medication.
  • Nerve Block for Migraines: Effective treatment for chronic, medication-resistant migraines through anesthetic injections around key nerves in the head and neck. Reduces frequency and intensity of attacks and improves quality of life.
  • Nerve Block for Cluster Headaches: Targeted procedure to reduce extremely severe headaches when medications fail, performed precisely under advanced imaging.
  • Facial Pain Nerve Block: Injection of anesthetics or steroids around damaged nerves to relieve pain and improve daily function.
  • Neuropathic and Vascular Nerve Blocks: Reduction of pain signals from blood vessels via targeted injections around nerve pathways. Helps reduce the use of strong painkillers.
  • Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy Nerve Block: Pain relief for nerve pain in oncology patients, improving quality of life and enabling continuation of optimal oncologic treatments.
