Primary outcome
This is an observational study. No outcome is measured.
Secondary outcome
This is an observational study. No outcome is measured.
Background summary
The primary objective of this study is to explore differences in the optical signals obtained in tissues encountered during interventional pain procedures. The study takes place at University Hospital Maastricht (AZM). Patients are recruited in the Netherlands.
Study objective
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the optical tissue stylet technology can discriminate tissues that are relevant for interventional pain procedures.
Study design
Measurements are made during the procedures. No follow-up is required for this study.
Intervention
A smart stylet is used to collect optical data during the normal interventional pain procedures. There is no extra intervention on the patient in addition to the normal treatment procedures.
Inclusion criteria
1. More than 18 years old;
2. Patients visiting the AZM department of anesthesiology, and fall into one of the following classes:
A. Neuralgia paraesthetica patients for whom the indication of a blockade of the nervus cutaneus femoris lateralis has been made;
B. Patients experiencing pain in the groin area, for whom the indication of a blockade of the nervus ilioinguinalis, nervus iliohypogastricus, or nervus genitofemoralis has been made;
C. Patients experiencing discogenic lower back pain, which have been indicated for a blockade of the communicating ramus;
D. Patients who have been indicated for a sympathetic blockade either because of a complex regional pain syndrome, or because of a peripheral vascular disease.
Exclusion criteria
1. Pregnancy;
2. Photodynamic therapy;
3. Inability to give informed consent.
