Wrist local steroid injection
Wrist nerve block by injection is a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure used to treat chronic wrist pain, typically arising from arthritis or instability, by interrupting sensory nerve signals (mainly PIN/AIN nerves) with an anesthetic or neurolytic agent. This less-invasive approach provides pain relief, often serving as a predictor for success before permanent surgical denervation.\[4\]
