What this trial is about
This study aims to compare the efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided paravertebral (PV) and transdiscal (TD) approaches for splanchnic nerve neurolysis in patients with upper abdominal cancer-related pain (e.g., gastric, pancreatic, and hepatic malignancies). Treatment response will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the impact of both techniques on quality of life will be evaluated with the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
