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.

Dr. Athma Thottungal describes ultrasound, diagnosis, and procedures of the peripheral nerves of the upper extremity. She concentrates on the cervical sympathetic trunk as an example. Cervicothoracic ganglion blocks, also known as the stellate ganglion, can be difficult to treat. Knowing your target is important, she says, and this will also influence the tools you use for diagnosing, as well as the procedure performed.

Dr. Ira Fox talks about caudal lysis of adhesions. Indications, technique, complications, and evidence/hallmark studies regarding this procedure are discussed. The role of inflammation is also discussed. There are many objectives for epidural neuroplasty that Dr. Fox discusses. Monitoring patients is also important. The goal here is to create a healing process.

Dr. Bernhard Moriggl discusses anatomy of the nerves in the lower extremities. Understanding anatomy, diagnosis, and procedures of peripheral nerves of the lower extremities is very important in pain management. Dr. Moriggi says to always trace nerves to be sure where they are (are they entrapped?) and where they come from. Landmarks may sometimes be missing, so be careful. Do what makes sense, says Dr Miriggi.
