Procedures known as nerve blocks or neural blockades can be used to treat or control a variety of pain conditions. They frequently involve injections of drugs that inhibit the pain caused by particular nerves. They can be used for both pain alleviation and, if necessary for surgery, total lack of feeling. An epidural is possibly the most well-known type of nerve block. To lessen the agony of labour and delivery, many pregnant women request an epidural. An anaesthetic substance is injected by doctors during an epidural into the region just outside the spinal column.

Normally, a nerve block is performed as an outpatient procedure. On an ultrasound or fluoroscopy table, you will be lying on your side or stomach so that your doctor can easily reach the injection site. Needles are needed for nerve blocks, and they are frequently guided by a fluoroscope, ultrasonography, or CT scan. To find the nerve producing discomfort, the healthcare provider may also utilise low-level electrical stimulation. The injection of painkilling or anti-inflammatory medications around a nerve or group of nerves is done using needles and guided pictures.

This reduces inflammation or numbs the region. Sometimes the nerve is purposely damaged or severed using drugs or surgery. The pain signals sent by the nerves in a specific body part are stopped by nerve blocks. The process of creating anaesthesia, or the absence of feeling used to prevent or reduce pain, is known as a nerve block, sometimes known as a neural blockade. A surgical or nonsurgical nerve block is an option.Non-surgical nerve blocks entail injecting a drug close to a particular nerve or group of nerves. The medicine blocks the central nervous system (CNS) from receiving nerve signals that would otherwise cause pain. Instead, you'll experience numbness or a "pins and needles" sensation in that area of your body.In order to stop certain nerves from transmitting impulses to the CNS, surgical nerve blocks entail cutting or killing such nerves on purpose.

Any intentional disruption of the impulses moving down a nerve, frequently for pain relief, is referred to as a nerve block or regional nerve blockade. Local anaesthetic nerve block, also known as just "nerve block," is a temporary obstruction caused by the injection of anaesthetic, corticosteroid, and other substances onto or close to a nerve. It typically lasts for hours or days. A block caused by neurolytic block, which is the purposeful temporary degeneration of nerve fibres through the administration of chemicals, heat, or freezing, can last for weeks, months, or forever. When a nerve or a portion of a nerve is cut through or removed, it typically results in a permanent block.
