Pain is a complex and debilitating issue that impacts physical, mental, medical, economic, and social well-being.If left untreated, chronic pain can strip away the joy from life. Physical activity becomes painful and draining, and it can lead to depression and sleep disturbances. Managing your pain effectively can help you stay active, sleep well, better cope with treatment, and enjoy time with family and friends.
Pain specialists at Apex Hospital Amritsar, are dedicated to addressing both acute and chronic pain conditions, requiring a deep understanding and expertise in selecting appropriate treatment options for each patient.Most interventional pain treatments are performed under radiological guidance, using imaging techniques such as X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scans to precisely target the area of pain. These procedures are typically carried out with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and are often done on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day without the need for an overnight stay. This approach allows for effective pain management with minimal disruption to daily life.
At Apex Hospital Amritsar, we are proud to offer the Distal Sodium Channel Block (DSCB) Facility, an advanced treatment option designed to effectively manage chronic pain. The DSCB procedure targets and blocks the sodium channels in the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. By inhibiting these channels, the procedure helps to reduce pain transmission, providing significant relief for patients suffering from conditions such as neuropathic pain, post-surgical pain, and other chronic pain disorders.
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the process. Guided by precise imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, our pain specialists can accurately administer the treatment to the targeted nerve areas. Most DSCB procedures are conducted on a day-care basis, meaning patients can return home the same day without the need for extended hospital stays.
This cutting-edge therapy offers a promising option for patients who have not found sufficient relief with traditional pain management methods, helping to improve overall quality of life, restore function, and reduce dependency on oral pain medications.
