The most invasive method for treating iliocostal friction syndrome is the surgical resection of the floating ribs, [2] which excises the outer two-thirds of the rib while the individual is under anesthesia. [3] Special attention is made to preserve the intercostal nerve not to cause intercostal neuralgia. [8]
Physicians can also treat intercostal nerve pain by intentionally damaging the intercostal nerves. This process, known as neurolysis , prevents the nerves from sending pain signals. [ 2 ] In chemical neurolysis, a needle injects alcohol or phenol into the nerve and prevents the conduction of pain signals.
Nerve block or regional nerve blockade is any deliberate interruption of signals traveling along a nerve, often for the purpose of pain relief. Local anesthetic nerve block (sometimes referred to as simply "nerve block") is a short-term block, usually lasting hours or days, involving the injection of an anesthetic, a corticosteroid, and other agents onto or near a nerve.
Identifying the level of entrapment is an important consideration for surgery as decompressing the wrong area will lead to a failed surgery (e.g. performing back surgery for extra-spinal sciatica), [2] [3] failure to treat nerve entrapment early can lead to permanent nerve injury, [4] and the patient may be unnecessarily exposed to surgical ...
