Interventions for the Management of Perineal Cancer Pain
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
Pain associated with neoplasms may be of somatic, visceral, or neuropathic origin.Visceral pain or pain that is mediated by the sympathetic fibers in the perineal area associated with malignancy in the pelvis may be effectively treated with neurolysis of impar ganglion.In recent years, radiofrequency lesioning of the ganglion Impar has evolved as a novel non pharmacological technique for the management of patients suffering from intractable perineal pain.

Conditions
Interventions
cooled radiofrequency ,
In Cooled RF, after placement of the introducer needle, the 18 gauge internally cooled RF electrode is used for 90 seconds at a temperature of 60°C.
conventional radiofrequency
In conventional RF group lesion will be performed at 80°C for 120 seconds.
neurolysis of ganglion
In neurolytic block, Once the position of the needle tip confirmed, 4 - 6 mL of 8% phenol in saline will be injected followed by 1 mL of saline to avoid the deposition of phenol within the intervertebral disc material.
