Abstract

Purpose of Review

Nerve blocks constitute an integral portion in the management of chronic pain. The widespread use of ultrasound imaging opened the door to a flood of newer blocks especially truncal plane nerve blocks. We reviewed the current medical literature for studies and case reports utilizing the two most common truncal plane nerve blocks, transversus abdominis plane and erector spinae plane blocks, to manage chronic pain.

Recent Findings

We found some evidence, mostly in case reports and retrospective observational studies, that supports the use of transversus abdominis plane and erector spinae plane nerve blocks, usually with steroids, as a safe and valuable part of interdisciplinary management of chronic abdominal and chest walls pain.

Summary

Ultrasound-guided truncal fascial plane nerve blocks are safe, easy to learn, and proven to help with post-operative acute pain management. Although limited, our current review provides evidence from the current medical literature regarding the utility of these blocks to manage some of the challenging chronic and cancer-related pain conditions of the trunk region.

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
