Prevalence of chronic pain in Czech Republic and other European countries is about 20 % and this number slightly increases. Chronic

pain is serious social problem. Correct pain treatment is multimodal, involves pharmacotherapy, physical treatment, psychotherapy

and invasive and other treatment approaches. Invasive technics are used as accessory treatment method or as a last step in cases of

pharmacotherapy failure. Recently we can see increasing interest in new modern and sophisticated methods like radiofrequency or

neuromodulation and decreasing interest in anesthesiological type of blocks.
