Abstract

Objective: Researches on blocking afferent pathways of pain sensation to the central nervous system, relieving cancer pain, chronic pain in the upper abdomen is conducted.
Methods: This prospective observational study is conducted on 30 patients whose coeliac plexus was blocked from June 2018 to December 2020 at 108 Military central hospitals.
Results: Pre-intervention patients have been severe pain with a VAS score ≥ 6, which greatly affected the quality of life. After coeliac plexus block, 22/30 patients achieved the expected analgesia. The most common side effect is diarrhea. No serious complications
Conclusion: The absolute–alcohol injection technique to block the coeliac plexus by computed tomography and Maxio robot-guided offer high precision, the efficacy of initial treatment, and low complication rate.
