Over the past two decades, treatments for acute and chronic pain have evolved a lot, after describing new physiopathological mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Interventional techniques gained space with several advantages, including the achievement of satisfactory pain control, with a milder adverse effect profile, when compared to more
traditional drug treatments.In recent years, auxiliary imaging methods have evolved, seeking greater effectiveness and safety of procedures. Radioscopic-guided blockages, infiltrations and neurolysis techniques have already established themselves as being of great benefit to patients, and the use of ultrasound is constantly being absorbed within this scenario, allowing for more precise interventions, adding safety and effectiveness, shortening execution time and reducing patient and team exposure to ionizing
radiation.Detalhes do curso
