Intramuscular injection, often abbreviated IM, is the injection of a substance into a muscle. In medicine , it is one of several methods for parenteral administration of medications. Intramuscular injection may be preferred because muscles have larger and more numerous blood vessels than subcutaneous tissue, leading to faster absorption than ...
Ultrasound-guided injections are the gold standard for differentiating deep gluteal syndrome from other sources of pain. [9] Diagnostic injections function in a similar way to deep palpation. While palpation causes a signal to be sent along a nerve which patients can localize relative to their pain (the spot hurts or it doesn't), anesthetics ...
The term injection encompasses intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC) and intradermal (ID) administration. [35] Parenteral administration generally acts more rapidly than topical or enteral administration, with onset of action often occurring in 15–30 seconds for IV, 10–20 minutes for IM and 15–30 minutes for SC.

Superior gluteal nerve palsy causes injury to the superior gluteal nerve, which results in motor loss that manifests as a disabling gluteus medius limp. [5] The most common cause is an iatrogenic injury during hip surgery or an intramuscular injection. Lesions of the inferior gluteal nerve occur through iatrogenic injuries like surgery, trauma ...

Injections deliver medication directly to the piriformis muscle through a needle. The needle is placed into the piriformis muscle with image guidance such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, or MRI. [ 2 ] [ 30 ] Ultrasound is a popular choice due to a balance of accuracy, accessibility, lack of radiation exposure, and affordability.
Injection fibrosis is a complication of intramuscular injection, occurring especially often in infants and children. Injections are often delivered to the quadriceps, triceps, and gluteal muscles, and thus the complication often manifests itself in those muscles. Patients are unable to fully flex the affected muscle. The condition is painless ...
Nandrolone levels with a single 50 mg intramuscular injection of nandrolone decanoate or nandrolone hexyloxyphenylpropionate in oil solution in men. [ 3 ] Dose-normalized nandrolone exposure (serum level divided by dose administered) with nandrolone decanoate in oil solution by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection in men.
