How Selective Nerve Root Block (Fluoroscopy/CT Guided) is performed
Under image guidance, the doctor inserts a thin needle through the intervertebral foramen or interlaminar approach to the surrounding area of the suspected affected nerve root. Usually, contrast agent is injected first to confirm the position and diffusion, and then local anesthetic combined with glucocorticoids or saline is given according to the evaluation to reduce the inflammatory response and pressure around the nerve root. Vital signs are monitored throughout the process, and short-term observation is performed after the operation. The goal is to relieve radicular pain and assist in diagnosis. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific situation is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
