Prediction of Outcome of Interventional Pain Management

Sponsor: Benno Rehberg-Klug

Summary

Interventional pain management for back and neck pain is widely used, but the indications and relative merits of these techniques rest subject to discussion. This study aims to identify prognostic criteria for patients who might specifically benefit from interventional pain management. Specifically, the nociceptive reflex threshold will be investigated, which is a measure of central sensibilisation and thus a potentially important prognostic factor.
