What is nerve block therapy?

  A nerve block is a direct injection of drugs or physical stimulation around or near nerves such as nerve trunks, plexuses, cerebrospinal nerve roots, and sympathetic ganglia to block nerve signal transmission. The use of nerve block-based methods to diagnose and treat pain and to make prognostic determinations of pain conditions is called nerve block therapy.  Features of nerve block therapy: 1. Reliable analgesic effect. 2.  2.It is important for the diagnosis of the disease.  3.The treatment scope is selective. 4.The treatment effect is rapid.  5.Low adverse effects.  The mechanism of nerve block therapy: blocking the nerve conduction pathway of nociception, regulating the local environment that causes pain, improving blood circulation, eliminating inflammation, and the efficacy is closely related to the operation skill.
