Medical - Medical (general) / Request for a second opinion on chronic cervical degenerative pathology
Spanish term or phrase: bloqueo diagnóstico
The "bloqueo diagnostico" appears to be a therapy, but I am not able to find the correct terminology.

This is the context.....En septiembre acudió a médico rehabilitador por el mal control de su cervicalgia y se le remitió a la Unidad de dolor.
Se le ha añadido más medicación (tramadol/paracetamol) y se ha programado para bloqueo diagnóstico a nivel escapular en febrero 2016 (ver informe más adelante).

Thank you for your help.
