No, a myelogram typically does not require general anesthesia. Instead, it is usually performed using local anesthesia to numb the area where the needle is inserted into the spine. Some patients may receive sedation to help them relax during the procedure, but they remain awake and aware. The procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into the spinal canal to enhance imaging of the spinal cord and nerves.
