Interventional analgesia is a branch of pain management involving specialized invasive procedures to alleviate pain. While procedures such nerve blocks and epidural injections have been used in veterinary anaesthesia for several years, their use beyond the perioperative period is relatively new. The primary goal of interventional analgesia is to provide effective and long- lasting pain relief while minimizing the use of systemic drugs and their potential side effects.

In people interventional analgesia include also interventions such as: radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery. Generally interventional analgesia is used together with systemic drug administration and physical therapy.

Clinical applications:

• Interventional analgesia, in the form of single or continuous peripheral nerve blocks, epidural injections, is useful to treat acute and chronic pain in small animals.
• Pro and cons of interventional analgesia techniques as well as indications and contra-indications must be considered before performing them.
