Dr. David Rosenblum discusses his approach in treating headaches. He explains the importance of identifying the type of headache before any treatment can be selected. He describes a case in which he performed a sphenopalatine ganglion block that resolved occipital and facial pain completely.

Douglass Beall, MD, discusses managing discogenic back pain without surgery. Traditionally, patients can use physical therapy and chiropractic interventions to help manage back pain. Surgery can be used to help manage it as well; however, it is expensive and only 50% of patients improve after surgical procedures. Non-invasive methods for managing back pain include nerve ablation, and injections with stem cells, hydrogels, or amino acid peptides. The average procedure time for these non-invasive methods is 5.5 minutes, and studies show that there is significant improvement in pain, function, and quality of life.
Dr. Ira Fox talks about the importance of understanding the relationship between proper technique and an accurate diagnosis. He explains why he spends an hour with his patients during the initial consultation to obtain the correct diagnosis, including a differential diagnose.
Dr. Mayank Gupta presents spinal cord stimulation treatment for chronic abdominal pain (CAP) that originates due to various underlying causes. Dr. Gupta discusses the ongoing challenges for pain management physicians and the health care system. He also mentions that abdominal pain is the top reason for emergency room (ER) visits. He further explains that conventional treatments include neuropathic medication (e.g., Gabapentin, Lyrica), nerve blocks, or opioids that have poor efficacy, harmful complications, or potential dependence (e.g., opioid dependence). Dr. Gupta then focuses on evidence that demonstrates the success of treating CAP with traditional spinal cord stimulation.
