Transdiscal vs Paravertebral Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block for Upper Abdominal Cancer Pain
Comparison of Transdiscal and Paravertebral Approaches for Neurolytic Splanchnic Nerve Block in the Treatment of Upper Abdominal Cancer Pain
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to compare the efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided paravertebral (PV) and transdiscal (TD) approaches for splanchnic nerve neurolysis in patients with upper abdominal cancer-related pain (e.g., gastric, pancreatic, and hepatic malignancies). Treatment response will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the impact of both techniques on quality of life will be evaluated with the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
