Specialists at the Pain Management Unit of the General Hospital for Special State Servants (GHSSS) have introduced a treatment method to relieve pain caused by compression and inflammation of spinal nerve roots.

The nerve root pain relief injection is a precise procedure performed under X-ray guidance in a sterile surgical environment. The service is being provided under the supervision of Batsaikhan B., Consultant Neurosurgeon at the hospital.

With the commissioning of an MRI diagnostic scanner, the hospital has been able to expand neurosurgical services and further support evidence-based care.

The procedure involves injecting an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid medication directly into the affected nerve root through the intervertebral opening of the spine. This helps reduce swelling and inflammation, thereby alleviating pain.

The treatment is commonly used for conditions such as Herniated disc, Sciatica, Spinal stenosis, and other cases involving compression of spinal nerve roots.

In addition to relieving pain, the treatment can improve mobility and increase the likelihood of avoiding surgical intervention.
