Image-guided Perineural Vitamin B12 Injection for nerve regeneration and pain management


Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for the normal functioning of the peripheral nervous system. Vitamin B12 is required for many methylation reactions, including those involving DNA and myelin basic protein. Nevertheless, only a small proportion of the vitamin B12 gets absorbed when it is taken orally. For those with nerve compression, nerve blood supply is compromised and it will further decrease the absorption of vitamin B12. 

Therefore, a precise delivery technique is required for treatment of nerves with high-dose vitamin B12. Image-guided perineural vitamin B12 injection has the advantage of high-dose B12 delivery to defective nerves. Dr. Chien-Hua Chen is the first to advocate this method to facilitate neuro-regeneration in literature.
