Blockade and modulation of the nociceptive pathway by the route of interventional procedures provides varying degree of relief to chronic pain patients.

This is important to achieve a streamlined efficiency in providing our pain services.
This survey of pain consultants written by Dr Stephen Humble and Dr Devjit Srivastava aims to provide a snapshot of the current practice in the United Kingdom by covering the objectives, methods, limitations and results of pain injections.
