Abstract

Ultrasound techniques and peripheral nerve stimulation have increased the interest in peripheral nerve injections for chronic pain. The knowledge of anatomy and nerve distribution patterns is paramount for optimal use of peripheral nerve blocks in the management of chronic pain conditions. They are an important tool in an interventional pain physician's armamentarium and can be integrated into pain practices effectively to offer patients pain relief.

Keywords: Chronic pain; Interventional pain management; Neuralgia; Peripheral nerve block.
