Neurolysis
Neurolysis is the application of physical or chemical agents to a nerve in order to cause a temporary degeneration of targeted nerve fibers. When the nerve fibers degenerate, an interruption in the transmission of nerve signals occurs. In the medical field, neurolysis is commonly used to alleviate pain, such as in people with various forms of cancer, chronic osteoarthritis or spasticity.
Different types of neurolysis include celiac plexus neurolysis, endoscopic ultrasound guided neurolysis, and lumbar sympathetic neurolysis. Chemodenervation and nerve blocks are other forms of neurolysis.
Neurotomy may refer to the application of heat (as in radiofrequency nerve lesioning), chemical ablation, or freezing of sensory nerves with the intent of a longer term (months or years) ablation or partial denervation of one or more peripheral nerves, usually to relieve chronic pain.
Early neurolysis techniques were used in the 1900s for pain relief by the surgeon-neurologist Mathieu Jaboulay for vasospastic disorders, such as arterial occlusive disease before the introduction of endovascular procedures.
Neurolysis is a chemical ablation technique that is used to alleviate pain. Neurolysis is used when the disease has progressed to a point where other pain treatments are deemed ineffective. A neurolytic agent such as alcohol, phenol, or glycerol is typically injected into specific sensory nerves assessed to be transmitting pain signals.
Chemical neurolysis is used to denervate specific sensory nerves, reducing pain signals. The effects generally last for three to six months.
Neurotomy is a nerve block procedure performed in cases, such as for severe knee arthritis, in an outpatient procedure. The term neurotomy may be used as a synonym for neurectomy – the surgical cutting or removal of nervous tissue.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat generated from radio waves to disrupt sensory nerve function in anatomical structures transmitting pain sensation to the brain, such as from the back, hip, neck, or knee. RFA is an alternative for eligible people who have comorbidities or do not want to undergo more extensive surgery, such as hip or knee arthroplasty.
