Regional analgesia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regional analgesia blocks passage of pain impulses through a nerve by depositing an analgesic drug close to the nerve trunk, cutting off sensory innervation to the region it supplies. The drug is normally injected at a site where the nerve is unprotected by bone.
