Lecture # 13
“The Use of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Injections: Part 2: Nerve blocks and Intracapsular Injections.”
(42 minutes) (2005)
This lecture is part two of a description of injection techniques used to help the clinician diagnosis, and in some
instances, treat orofacial pain disorders. In this lecture, Dr. Okeson discusses the indications and
contraindications for various nerve blocks that will help provide insight to the patient’s pain disorder. Each nerve
block is described and the relevant anatomy presented. Illustrations and video clips are used to demonstrate the
techniques. The proper type of anesthetic is discussed along with other medications that may be used. The
auriculotemporal nerve block is highlighted and demonstrated in several video clips. The sphenopalatine block and
intracapsular injections are also reviewed.
Lectures #12 and #13 represent part 1 and part 2 of a series on muscle, nerve block
and intracapsular injection techniques. If you would like both DVDs at a reduce rate,
