Abstract		Invazivne metode za zdravljenje kronične nemaligne bolečine so pomemben dodatek ali alternativa konservativnega zdravljenja. Uspešnost in učinkovitostteh metod je odvisna od natančne izbire bolnikov ter poznavanja zapletov in neželenih učinkov. Čim prejšnja utemeljena uporaba intervencijskih tehnik bolnikom zagotavlja lajšanje bolečine, izboljša funkcionalnost in kakovost življenja. Širša uporaba takšnega načina obravnave bolnikov je omejena iz finančnih razlogov, čeprav analize stroškovne učinkovitosti po določenem času kažejo pozitivne rezultate. Tehnike intervencijske obravnave bolečine se klasificirajo glede na invazivnost. Radiofrekvenčne tehnike, spinalno električno in kemično nevromodulacijo uvrščamo med bolj invazivne. V Sloveniji že vrsto let uporabljamo invazivne načine zdravljenja bolečine, sodobne intervencijske tehnike se še niso primerno razvile.Invasive techniques in pain management are an important addition or alternative to conservative treatment. The success or efficacy depend on careful selection of patients and to knowledge of possible complications and side effects. Earlier use of interventional techniques in proper patients enables pain relief, improved functionality and improved quality of life. Wider use of such kind of pain management is limited due to the cost, although cost-effectiveness analysis indicates positive results after certain time. The interventional pain management techniques are commonly classified according to the degree of invasiveness. Radiofrequency techniques, spinal electrical and chemical neuromodulation are the more invasive. Invasive pain management have been used in Slovenia for many years, but contemporary interventional techniques have not been well implemented so far.
