What a great site! Can you do one on a genicular nerve block?
Sure
can you create one for a cervical selective nerve root block?
Because of the lack of a true selective nerve root block (scientifically proven to be pretty much impossible) and the risk of spinal cord injury from either particulate steroid injection or just vasospasm from nicking a feeding branch to the spinal arteries, I don’t perform transforaminal ESI in the C-spine; just do interlaminar at C7/T1 or T1/T2.
Hello,
Can you differentiate the wording for Greater occipital nerve block and a C2 ganglion nerve block?
I have a doctor that uses the same wording for the two injections. Makes it a little difficult to code.
Thank you
I’m not sure what the doctor means by C2 ganglion nerve block. If he/she is doing a C2 dorsal root ganglion block, that would be billed the same as a cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injection. A greater occipital nerve block is along the back of the skull and should be explained like that in the procedure dictation.
Do you have a note for a peripheral nerve stimulation (pain) trial?
No I don’t. Sorry.
