TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Cervical Nerve Root Blocks A1 - Golovac, Stanley A2 - Diwan, Sudhir A2 - Staats, Peter S. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Atlas of Pain Medicine Procedures AB - The use of cervical root blocks can be used both diagnostically and/or therapeutically. In certain conditions, a nerve root block can help determine whether the nerve root in question is either contributing or the cause of the pain. Because the technique lends itself to both diagnostic and therapeutic uses, cervical nerve root blocks are an essential part of an interventional practice. Each of the levels, other than C1 and C2, can be accessed for a selective injection. A selective nerve root block is intended to determine whether the suspected nerve root is involved in the pathology and pain from the nerve root compression or irritation.
