What is Selective Nerve Root Block/Epidural Injection?
Performed when symptoms and imaging suggest nerve root involvement and intervention is appropriate. Under sterile conditions, a puncture needle is positioned near the target nerve root through the intervertebral foramen under fluoroscopic or CT guidance. After angiography confirms the position, local anesthetics and corticosteroids are injected in divided doses to reduce the inflammatory response and for diagnostic localization. After completion, observe vital signs and sensory and motor changes, evaluate analgesia and functional improvement, and then give discharge and subsequent rehabilitation advice. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital plan.
