AB  - Indications  for  surgical  interventions  in  the  treatment  of  chronic  pain  continue  to  evolve  as  we  learn  more  about  the  pathophysiology  and  mechanisms  of  chronic  pain.  Recent  advances  in  technology  and  availability  of  newer  and  better  analgesics  have  also  helped  us  rely  more  on  neuromodulation  and  neuroaugmentation  rather  than  neuroablation.  Establishment  of  multidisciplinary  pain  centers,  formal  fellowship  training  in  pain  medicine,  and  popularity  of  minimally  invasive  techniques  has  enabled  clinicians  from  various  disciplines  to  perform  procedures  that  were  once  performed  only  by  neurosurgeons.  Surgical  procedures  that  are  used  to  relieve  pain,  and  are  not  discussed  in  detail  elsewhere  in  this  book,  can  be  divided  into  three  major  categories  (Table  75-1).
