    injection of anesthetic near nerves to block pain signals

    Nerve blocks, also known as neural blockades, are medical procedures that involve injecting anesthetic or anti-inflammatory agents near specific nerves to temporarily interrupt pain signals. This technique is commonly used for pain management, diagnostic purposes, or as an adjunct to surgical anesthesia. By targeting specific nerves, nerve blocks can provide relief from chronic pain conditions, facilitate surgical procedures, and improve the quality of life for patients with various types of pain.
