Transforaminal Epidural Adhesiolysis

At Vedant Pain Management Clinic, we offer advanced treatments for chronic pain conditions, including Transforaminal Epidural Adhesiolysis (TEA). This innovative procedure is designed to relieve pain caused by nerve compression and the formation of adhesions in the epidural space.

Indications for Transforaminal Epidural Adhesiolysis

TEA is often recommended for patients experiencing

  1. Chronic back or neck pain

  2. Radiculopathy (pain radiating into the arms or legs)

  3. Failed back surgery syndrome

  4. Nerve root irritation due to scar tissue

The Procedure
  1. Pre-Procedure Consultation: A thorough evaluation is conducted to determine candidacy and discuss the procedure in detail.

  2. Preparation: The injection site is cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

  3. Imaging Guidance: Fluoroscopy or ultrasound is used to accurately position the needle into the transforaminal region of the spine.

  4. Injection: A combination of a local anesthetic and a saline solution is injected to help dissolve the adhesions and reduce inflammation.

  5. Recovery: Patients are monitored for a short time after the procedure and provided with post-procedure care instructions.

Benefits of Transforaminal Epidural Adhesiolysis
  1. Pain Relief: TEA can significantly reduce chronic pain and improve functionality.

  2. Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis with minimal downtime.

  3. Enhanced Mobility: By alleviating pain, patients often experience improved mobility and the ability to resume daily activities.

  4. Targeted Treatment: TEA specifically addresses the source of pain related to nerve compression and adhesions.

What to Expect After the Procedure
  1. Post-Procedure Care: Patients are advised on activity restrictions and pain management.

  2. Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-ups are important to assess progress and determine the effectiveness of the treatment.

  3. Pain Management Plan: Depending on individual outcomes, further treatment options may be discussed.
