Gray Ramus Communicans Nerve Block for Acute Pain Control in Vertebral Compression Fracture.
Park DY, Choi I, Kim TG, Kim WJ, Shin IY, Khil EK. Park DY, et al. Medicina (Kaunas). 2021 Jul 23;57(8):744. doi: 10.3390/medicina57080744. Medicina (Kaunas). 2021. PMID: 34440950 Free PMC article.
Background and Objectives: The current options for acute pain control of vertebral compression fracture include hard brace, vertebroplasty, early surgery, and analgesic injection. We hypothesize that the gray ramus communicans nerve block (GRNB) controls the acute p …

Gray ramus communicans nerve block: novel treatment approach for painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.
Chandler G, Dalley G, Hemmer J Jr, Seely T. Chandler G, et al. South Med J. 2001 Apr;94(4):387-93. South Med J. 2001. PMID: 11332903
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 52 cases in which gray ramus communicans nerve block was used for painful OVCF after failure of conservative analgesic therapy. All were office-based, fluoroscopically guided procedures; a combination of 2% lidocaine and 2% steri …
