Cervical Spine Medical Imaging Provocative Discography Discogram pain management videos. This movie illustrates the technique for performing a cervical provocative discography. This movie shows patient positioning, skin preparation, local anesthetic injection, cannula insertion, contrast injection, simulated CT views of a normal disc, and wound dressing. In a disc herniation, the pain is often caused by the herniation compressing an adjacent structure, such as a pain management video. However, if the disc has an internal wall tear, the blood vessels and nerves of the outer wall can grow into the tear as the body tries to heal the damage. Disc movement or pressure changes can then stimulate these nerves, causing pain. Provocative discography, also known as disc stimulation, is a procedure in which contrast fluid is injected into the nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc to distend the disc.
