CourseRationale

• For a long time, fascia was considered a simple supporting tissue. Today, however, it is recognized as a complex, dynamic, and highly specialized structure.
• Recent scientific discoveries show that it plays a fundamental role in cellular communication processes, pain modulation, inflammation, and even in immune system regulation.
• This new vision of fascia as a true “organ” opens innovative therapeutic scenarios.
• In this context, fascial blocks are increasingly widespread anesthesiological techniques widely used in thoracic, abdominal, and orthopedic surgery. They offer the advantage of reducing opioid use and promoting faster postoperative recovery.
• Their simple and safe execution facilitates their use even outside the operating room. In recent years, new applications have also emerged in the treatment of chronic pain, such as in myofascial syndromes and post-surgical neuralgia.
• The future foresees an increasingly widespread use, also thanks to long-acting drugs and integration with regenerative therapies. Fascial blocks are therefore becoming a key tool in the management of both acute and chronic pain.
