Ultrasound-Guided Chemodenervation Procedures

About this book

The text portion is a practical reference manual, and is divided into three parts. The first part is an overview of the conditions and applications, general approach to chemodenervation and nerve block procedures, off-label indications, and injection pearls (what to do, what to avoid), the second provides a review of the various agents (botulinum toxins, phenol, and alcohol) and their uses. The third part covers ultrasound basics for the clinician, including essential physics, machine settings, artifacts, scanning techniques, and pitfalls. The accompanying DVD is a visual atlas comprised of still images and cine-loops illustrating ultrasound anatomy, positioning, techniques for muscle localization, and procedures for performing all types of injections involving neurotoxins, peripheral nerve blocks, and motor point blocks. Ultrasound-Guided Chemodenervation and Neurolysis features: Integrated text and electronic package for hands-on learning. Includes all conditions for which ultrasound-guided neurotoxin injections or nerve blocks are used. DVD contains still images and video loops of structures, injections, and techniques for performing chemodenervation and neurolysis or combination therapies with ultrasound. Text is a practical reference manual that includes an essential review of ultrasound basics for clinicians.
