Abstract

Procedures to relieve pain are performed frequently but there are concerns about patient selection, appropriate image-guidance, frequency, and training for physicians. Patients, healthcare providers, policymakers, and licensing bodies seek evidence-based recommendations to use these interventions judiciously. In this review we appraised the methodological quality of recent clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for interventional pain procedures.
