Abstract

Chronic pain is a common and growing problem in the United States with variable strategies for its treatment. Surgical interventions are necessary in some cases but not required for all patients with new-onset pain. For some patients, interventional pain management (IPM) techniques can treat chronic pain without the cost or risk associated with surgical intervention.
