    Dr. Gabor Racz first describes the scarring triangle as a concept. It is scar tissue that is located in-between the L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and the S1 nerve root and above the L5-S1 disc. The scarring triangle poses a problem for catheters and other procedures such as spinal fusions. A case study in pain is discussed, as are other examples of the scarring triangle.

    Dr. Lorand Eross discussions invasive neuromodulation in craniofacial pain syndromes. First, he runs through the techniques commonly used for craniofacial pain syndromes. What can be done when patients have conditions such as trigeminal neuropathic pain and chronic cluster headaches? Neuromodulation (such as with occipital nerve stimulation) may prove to be one effective option. Research in this area is promising, even at long term follow ups.

    Dr. Miles Day discusses cervicogenic headaches. He discusses a brief history, and characteristics of these headaches. Finally, he lists and reviews interventional treatments of cervicogenic headaches. There are multiple potential pain generators for cervicogenic headaches. Diagnostic and therapeutic injections are also important. Clinical studies yield promising data.

    Dr. Kenneth B. Chapman discusses vertebral augmentation. He gives a history of this procedure, starting with its conception 1984. Research since then has been sparse at times, but also promising. Osteoporosis is the primary condition associated with vertebral augmentation. Dr. Chapman discusses several different research studies. Cancer patients may also benefit from this procedure. With the appropriately selected patient, vertebral augmentation is a safe and effective procedure.

    Dr. Philip Peng discusses ultrasound guide for interventional pain (injections and beyond). He talks about different injections that can be given (Botox, biologics, and more). Progress in pain intervention is also discussed and Dr. Pend goes beyond discussion of injections (such as decompressions, hydrodissections, and more). Then he talk about peripheral nerve stimulation.
