Gerdesmeyer – Trials and Tribulations of Evidence-Based Medicine in Interventional Pain Management

Dr. Ludger Gerdesmeyer discusses the ‘trials and tribulations’ of evidence-based medicine in interventional pain management. Clinical studies are important to make evidence-based decisions. Dr. Gerdesmeyer admits that it is difficult to keep up with the scientific literature, but it is nevertheless important. Only rigorous scientific studies can lead to evidence-based medicine. Clinical expertise and patient experiences are also important factors to keep in mind when making medical decisions though.
