Pain Management With Interventional Spine Therapy in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury: A Case Series

Chronic pain is a common problem for people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), and finding effective treatments is crucial. This paper looks at using interventional spine therapy to help manage this pain. The study presents several cases where epidural injections were used to identify the source of pain and provide relief to SCI patients experiencing neuropathic pain. These injections sometimes reduced spasticity, too. The findings suggest that interventional spine therapy can be a valuable tool for doctors treating chronic pain in SCI patients. It helps pinpoint the cause of the pain and can provide lasting relief.
