Video Summary

The video discusses commonly performed interventional pain procedures, specifically focusing on spine-related procedures. It explains the systematic approach to identifying the source of pain in the spine and discusses different compartments and structures that can contribute to pain generation. It highlights neuroaxial compartment pain and its causes such as disc herniation and spinal stenosis. The video also covers basic definitions of disc herniations and their stages. It describes the two approaches for epidural steroid injections - intralaminar and transforaminal - and their indications and potential complications. Other procedures mentioned include facet joint injections, medial branch blocks, sacroiliac joint injections, vertebroplasty, lumbar discography, spinal cord stimulators, sympathetic blocks, and intrathecal pain pumps.
