Dr. Chris Bovinet presents an in-depth overview of treating lumbar spinal stenosis using interspinous process spacers. He explores the biomechanics behind stenosis, patient selection criteria, clinical data—including long-term studies—and...
In this presentation, a functional neurosurgeon emphasizes the growing role of interventional pain physicians in performing minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as spinal cord stimulation and interspinous fusion....
Dr. Pankaj Mehta discusses the evolution of neuromodulation in pain management, emphasizing the importance of targeting the medial pain pathway, which influences the emotional and affective component of pain—suffering—not just...
This presentation explores the evolving landscape of neuromodulation, highlighting its expanding role beyond pain management to treat neurological disorders like epilepsy, depression, Parkinson’s disease, and overactive bladder. Emphasizing mechanisms...
This powerful talk addresses the existential crisis facing neuromodulation, not from lack of clinical efficacy, but from public perception shaped by media attacks, poor studies, fraud, and unethical practices....
Dr. Tim Deer explores the concept of singularity in neuromodulation—where technological growth becomes exponential and irreversible. He challenges the idea of hardware unification across companies and instead reframes singularity...
This presentation explores the clinical value of 10 kHz high-frequency spinal cord stimulation (HF-SCS) for treating various chronic pain conditions, including non-surgical refractory back pain, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and chronic abdominal pain....
This presentation explores the transformative impact of closed-loop spinal cord stimulation (SCS) using evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs). Unlike traditional open-loop systems, which blindly deliver constant stimulation despite anatomical...
This talk outlines the emerging field of personalized neuromodulation, with a focus on closed-loop spinal cord stimulation using evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs). Unlike traditional open-loop systems, closed-loop SCS...
This lecture explores the powerful role of the placebo effect in neuromodulation, challenging the perception that it undermines therapy efficacy. While placebo is a confounding factor in research, especially...
In this thought-provoking talk, the speaker explores the overwhelming complexity and rapid innovation in spinal cord stimulation (SCS) — particularly the explosion of waveform options. Rather than focusing on...
This presentation explores the future of pain management through emerging neuromodulation technologies such as optogenetics, focused ultrasound, brain-computer interfaces, and AI-driven personalized therapies. The speaker outlines how real-time biomarkers...
In this thought-provoking talk, the speaker challenges pain physicians to expand their role beyond pain relief and toward managing neuroinflammation and promoting movement, brain health, and social connection. Drawing from clinical experience...
This presentation advocates for non-invasive magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (MPNS) as a first-line treatment for diabetic neuropathy-related pain. Traditional medications like gabapentin and pregabalin show limited effectiveness and high...
This presentation explores basivertebral nerve (BVN) ablation as a treatment for chronic low back pain originating from the anterior spinal column. The speaker, an experienced practitioner and patient of...
This video explores the crucial role of mentorship in pain medicine, highlighting its historical roots, key competencies, and impact on both mentees and mentors. The speaker emphasizes intentional mentorship,...
This presentation explores advancements in peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), emphasizing improved hardware, patient selection, and new clinical applications. The speaker highlights the evolution from bulky spinal cord stimulators to...
This presentation explores advancements in diagnosing and treating discogenic low back pain, focusing on the interplay of cellular processes and emerging therapies. It covers PRP, bone marrow aspirate, and...
This video discusses the role of glial cells in chronic pain and their interaction with neuromodulation. It explains how glial cells, which make up 90% of neural cells, contribute...
In this video, a panel of experts discusses the current and future potential of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for various conditions. They highlight promising targets such as vagus nerve...
Dr. Hirsch states that the lecture series has featured the most prominent interventional pain medicine physicians, as well as legislators, luminaries, and dignitaries. Dr. Hirsch highlights the Manchikanti Excellence Award winners. He then introduces the day’s panel of speakers and pays a moving tribute to Dr. Laxmaiah Manchikanti and his work as a Giant in Pain Medicine in Intervention Pain Management. In addition, Dr. Hirsch describes Dr. Manchikanti’s humanitarian work.
