    Dr. Christopher Gharibo discusses refining pain management at the NYSIPP/NJSIPP Symposium. Pain management is becoming a surgical subspeciality, he explains. But he also urges doctors to be as multidisciplinary as possible and to remember all aspects of pain (such as the neurological, psychological, etc.). Dr. Gharibo briefly describes how the nomenclature of this field can even evolve to better reflect modern pain treatment.

    Dr. Hemmo Bosscher discusses the use of PACIF (Percutaneous Ablation, Curettage and Inferior Foraminotomy) to treat common low back pain at the 24th Annual Gabor Racz Pain Conference and Workshop. The treatment of nonspecific lower back pain can be difficult because it is, by definition, not localized to a particular area. However, the newly developed PACIF system may allow for better pain treatment outcomes.

    Dr. Kenneth Chapman describes the stellate ganglion and T2/3 sympathetic block at the 24th Annual Gabor Racz Pain Conference and Workshop. The sympathetic nervous system is critically tied to the stellate ganglion. Because of this, there are many indications for stellate ganglion blockade, from frost bite to post-traumatic stress disorder. However, there are potential complications to be aware of, such as infection. There are also several different approaches to stellate ganglion block, included ultrasound guided. T2-T3 sympathetic block is also touched on here.

    Dr. George Chang Chien discusses the role of cannabidiol (CBD) in pain management at the 24th Annual Gabor Racz Pain Conference and Workshop. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant and has been used in pain management for centuries. It is both an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. CBD exerts its effects through the endogenous cannabinoid system within the brain and body. Dr. Chien discusses the mechanisms by which CBD may have its pain-relieving properties here.

    Dr. Douglas Beall discusses current state of technology in diagnosing discogenic pain at the 24th Annual Gabor Racz Pain Conference and Workshop. There are different ways of treating discogenic pain, such as fusion surgery, but spine surgery for back pain doesn’t have very high success rates. In fact, Dr. Beal doesn’t even perform fusion surgeries for discogenic back pain. Instead, he uses a combination of stem cell therapy and nerve ablation procedures. Other methods are available, and Dr. Beal discusses them here.

    Dr. Gabor Racz discusses updates in neuroplasty at the 10th Annual Congress of the World Institute of Pain. He starts with a brief history of the field and his role in it. Case patients are used as examples throughout Dr. Racz’s talk. Surgical pain treatment methods can be difficult, and, without a doubt, surgeons have learned a lot over the years from both the success and failures of others.
