Some patients are hesitant or even frozen with fear at the thought of undergoing minimally invasive interventional pain management procedures that involve needles. Others simply want to maximize their comfort during their treatments.
Several National Spine and Pain Centers-affiliated providers can now offer patients a simple way to enjoy both anxiety relief and better comfort during their procedures so they can discover the remarkable potential interventional pain medicine holds to help reduce their pain.
Pronox™ is a non-narcotic analgesic (pain reliever) that delivers a fast-acting inhaled dose of nitrous oxide. It has been shown to be an effective and low-cost way to help patients overcome anxiety and enjoy less pain during their non-surgical treatments.
Much like what patients may receive in the dentist’s office, Pronox™ is a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide that patients inhale to relieve anxiety or discomfort during their procedures.
Pronox™ begins to work after just a few breaths and provides immediate anxiety and pain relief so the entire interventional treatment is more comfortable for the patient.
Used in more than 3,000 practices across the United States, Pronox™ is not a narcotic or highly sedating anesthetic so there are no lingering side effects. Patients can drive themselves home after their procedures.
If fear of needles has kept you from getting the pain relief you so desperately want, or if you just want to know your procedure will be done with minimal discomfort, wait no longer. Contact the National Spine & Pain Centers network to schedule an appointment with an affiliated pain specialist and learn more about Pronox™ nitrous oxide for anxiety and pain relief.
Pronox™ may also be used for other types of procedures as well. Ask your National Spine & Pain Centers’ affiliated professionals for details.
