Other nerve blocks What are side effects and risks of the procedure? Introduction Nerve blocks are used for pain treatment and management. There are several different types of nerve blocks that serve different purposes. Often a group of nerves, called a plexus or ganglion, that causes pain to ...
Lower-extremity nerve blocks, though underused, have significant advantages to central neuraxial techniques, especially in the ambulatory setting. Femoral nerve blocks are easy to perform, have few side effects, and a low incidence of complications. Despite these advantages, thorough knowledge of the ...
You can have multiple occipital nerve blocks, but most sports and pain doctors won’t exceed three shots in a six-month period. Normally, the pain-killing effect of an occipital neuralgia nerve block lasts up to three months. Risks and Side Effects of the Occipital Nerve Block Procedure...
Patients should be counseled on the most common side effects of peripheral nerve blocks, which include local inflammation, infection, and the possibility of prolonged neuropathic symptoms.

Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNB) are gaining popularity in paediatric practice owing to its superiority over neuraxial blocks in terms of side effects. The advent of ultrasound and development of new materials have made CPNBs feasible even in children, facilitating early ambulation, effective ...

Background: Inguinal herniorrhaphy (IH) is a common outpatient procedure, yet postoperative pain and anesthetic side effects remain a problem. Paravertebral somatic nerve blocks (PVB) have the potential to offer unilateral abdominal wall anesthesia and long-lasting pain relief with minimal side effects...
The main advantage of these nerve blocks is that they avoid the side effects caused by narcotics, as stated above. Creating a nerve block is done by using a needle to place a small catheter in the appropriate region. The main challenge in doing so is isolating the appropriate insertion ...
In several studies assessing the effects of FNB over time, final pain assessments were performed at earlier timepoints and the nerveblocks was administrerd at the ED [20], [21], [29], [30]; we observed that FNB had a significant analgesic effect over a 12-h period. This perspective ...
The purpose of this chapter is to remind the clinician that, although destructive nerve blocks may bring the patient welcome pain relief, they are dangerous. Their danger stems not only from their anticipated side effect—unwanted concomitant nerve destruction—but also from their unanticipated, ...
