Superior Cluneal nerve injection

[Murray Grave]

The superior cluneal nerve can be very difficult to locate with U/S. Do you have any tips or tricks that helps improve the accuracy of locating and injecting the nerve which can be prone to entrapment.
Thanking you.

Hi Murray,

This is a great topic,

I like you find these really difficult to identify and we often used a surface anatomy based approach to injections with the ultrasound used to give the correct depth.

The good news is my great friend Ke-Vin Chang is the master of such small truncal nerves.

I will upload some material onto the website from Ke-Vin.

It is great reading, not just for cluneal but also many other truncal nerves.

Happy scanning,

Steve.
