Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the analgesia nociceptive index (ANI) is associated with pain sensitivity in patients between the ages of 9-17 who are experiencing chronic pain. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does the ANI score correlate with the change in the pain sensitivity in patients aged 9-17 undergoing an interventional block. Patients already receiving an interventional block as part of their regular medical care for chronic pain will have their level of pain recorded during clinic appointments

Conditions

• Chronic Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Interventional Block	For patients who are offered interventional blocks as part of their standard of care, we will measure ANI as well as pressure pain threshold before, during, and after the block as well and at follow-up to assess correlation with treatment efficacy.
