PSR in the body refers to Percutaneous Stereotactic Rhizotomy, a procedure used to relieve nerve pain.
Percutaneous Stereotactic Rhizotomy (PSR) Explained
PSR is a minimally invasive procedure that targets specific nerves to alleviate pain. Here's a breakdown:
- What it does: Destroys the part of the nerve causing pain and suppresses pain signals to the brain.
- Why it's used: Primarily to relieve neuralgia (nerve pain).
- How it works: By targeting the nerve, it aims to disrupt the transmission of pain signals, thus providing relief.
