Masoud Hashemi

Abstract

There is a growing trend in ultrasound use in interventional pain management. Recently, the ease of use and clinical benefits of lumbar medial branch nerve block under ultrasound guidance have been identified. In this study, we assessed the relevant anatomy and sonoanatomy of these specific interventional techniques. We also evaluated the feasibility and success rates of ultrasound guided lumbar medial branch nerve block.
