SCS vs Surgery on Spine Chronic Spinal Pain

Dr. László Entz highlights the complexities of managing chronic pain, particularly in post-surgical patients. He shares insights on differentiating between neuropathic and nociceptive pain, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Key topics include the role of neuromodulation, spine surgery revisions, and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach in treating conditions like Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS).

How to prevent complications of interventional pain procedures

Dr. Giuliano Lo Bianco features a comprehensive lecture on preventing complications in interventional pain procedures. He begins by showcasing the scenic beauty of Palermo and inviting viewers for a visit. The agenda includes discussing important literature on safety and complications in interventional pain management. As image-guided interventional pain procedures have increased, so have related complications, emphasizing the need for physician expertise, patient selection, and preparation. The presentation covers various types of complications, such as biological, loss of efficacy, and device-related issues.

Advances in Imaging for Diagnosis of Spinal Chronic Pain

Dr. Chih-Peng Lin speaks on advanced imaging modalities for diagnosing and treating chronic spinal pain. Dr Lin, with over 15 years of experience in interventional pain management, discusses the integration of various imaging techniques like ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and electrosimulation in daily practice. The focus is on the use of hybrid imaging, particularly SPECT CT (single-photon emission computed tomography) and PET CT/MRI (positron emission tomography), for diagnosing spinal conditions. The presentation highlights how these advanced imaging techniques combine metabolic and anatomical data to identify active pain generators, which can be challenging with traditional methods. The speaker emphasizes the role of hybrid imaging in detecting occult fractures, stress fractures, spondylolysis, and infectious or inflammatory processes like spondylodiscitis. He also touches on post-surgical evaluation using these methods.

Autonomic Interventions for the Non Pain Indications

Dr. Peter Staats shares an enlightening presentation urging viewers to rethink their approach to pain management, drawing a parallel to the Indian fable of six blind men and an elephant. He challenges conventional paradigms of pain treatment, focusing on the evolving understanding of electricity in pain relief. The talk highlights the significant developments over the past 25 years in spinal cord stimulation, including various frequencies and approaches targeting different tissues. Dr. Staats emphasizes reevaluating the role of the autonomic nervous system in pain management, particularly the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The lecture delves into the potential of treating diseases beyond pain, such as spasticity, with neuromodulation techniques. He extends to exploring the vagus nerve's integral role in controlling bodily functions and systemic inflammation, highlighting its impact on diseases like arthritis and COVID-19.

The DRG as a Pain Generator and what to do about it

Marshall Devor, PhD, discusses an innovative interventional procedures targeting the Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) for pain management. Professor Devor explores mechanisms of pain generation and transmission, emphasizing electrical impulses in the nervous system. His talk highlights the potential of dilute lidocaine and other membrane stabilizing drugs in selectively blocking pain-causing impulses, offering promising solutions for major pain issues like radicular low back pain, CRPS and phantom limb pain.
