neurolytic block
Pain management A form of anesthesia in which a neurodestructive agent–eg, phenol and alcohol is injected at or near a nerve causing extreme pain; NBs are useful in cancer pain syndromes that are visceral or involve the
torso, but rarely for pain of extremities, as it would cause paralysis. See Nerve block, Nonneurolytic block. Want to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit the webmaster's page for free fun content. |
