Sažetak
In 10% to 30% cancer-pain cases standard analgesic therapy fails to provide effective pain relief. Interventional techniques, such as peripheral nerve blocks, neuraxial analgesia along with neurolytic blocks may be used for such refractory pain. Peripheral nerve blocks can be used when pain occurs in the territory of one or more peripheral nerves, but rarely as main therapy. Neuraxial analgesia is a valid option for progressive cancer pain, and healthcare possibilities and costs call into question the utility of intrathecal infusion pumps. Neurolysis is the targeted destruction of a nerve or nerve plexus, using chemicals, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryoablation, and neurosurgical procedures ; however, it rarely completely eliminates pain because patients frequently experience coexisting somatic and neuropathic pain as well. Complex conditions of palliative patients along with limited high-quality randomized controlled trials limit the use of interventional procedures. Even so, some cancer patients benefit from interventional procedures to achieve pain alleviation and consequently improve quality of life.
