Abstract

Celiac Plexus blocks and neurolysis have been used for almost a century to address intractable abdominal pain most commonly associated with cancer (Kambadakone et al., RadioGraphics 31:1599–1621, 2011). A survey of pain relief from celiac plexus neurolysis for cancer pain revealed about 70–90% effective rate for good to excellent pain relief beyond 3 months until death. Celiac Plexus block is commonly used as a diagnostic procedure for pain mediated by the celiac plexus for chronic abdominal pain (Urits et al., Curr Pain Headache Rep 24:42, 2020). Celiac Plexus neurolysis is performed using alcohol or phenol for longer lasting pain relief, if the diagnostic block provided significant analgesia.
