Summary:The Clinical Practice Guidelines for Chronic Pain（published in 2018）describe pharmacotherapy, interventional treatment（IVT）, psychosocial approach, and rehabilitation in the management of chronic pain and recommend a multidisciplinary approach that integrates perspectives from different disciplines.When performing IVT, including nerve block, it is important to determine the cause of pain and provide treatment with consideration to each patient’s condition.IVT, including nerve block, is useful in pain management. We believe that it contributes to early improvement of chronic pain, and that its inclusion can provide an opportunity to establish multidisciplinary therapy, which is usually performed in a pain clinic setting.
