Management, it will hugely benefit the patients suffering from chronic pain due to medical

condition and degree of pain. Robotic guided interventional pain management has been weighed
heavily than the conventional methods. The accuracy, safety and duration of the procedure are
highly commendable using robot.”

is lot of emotional, social and psychological factors that need to be addressed. The essence of
