The DRG as a Pain Generator and what to do about it
Marshall Devor, PhD, discusses an innovative interventional procedures targeting the Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) for pain management. Professor Devor explores mechanisms of pain generation and transmission, emphasizing electrical impulses in the nervous system. His talk highlights the potential of dilute lidocaine and other membrane stabilizing drugs in selectively blocking pain-causing impulses, offering promising solutions for major pain issues like radicular low back pain, CRPS and phantom limb pain.

Cervical Epidural Injections
Dr. Dominic Hegarty discusses the nuances and complexities of cervical epidural procedures in pain management. Working in a busy pediatric unit, he addresses the challenges and reservations his colleagues have about performing cervical procedures, including a lack of training and apprehension about needle placement in the neck. He emphasizes the significance of cervical epidural in treating conditions like radiculopathy, noting that such issues often resolve with conservative management. Dr. Hegarty stresses the importance of patient selection, citing the need for thorough physical examination and the use of imaging like MRI or CT scans to determine the suitability of an epidural.

Stellate and T2 3 Sympathetic Block
The complexities and applications of T2 and T3 sympathetic blocks. Dr. Agnes Stogicza emphasizes the importance of understanding the sympathetic chain's anatomy for effective treatment. Key functions of the sympathetic system, such as vasomotor and afferent functions, are explored, highlighting their roles in pain reduction and vasodilation. There are various indications for sympathetic blocks, ranging from vascular conditions like Berger’s disease and Renaud disease to pain-related conditions such as CRPS. The speaker also touches upon the use of Stellate ganglion block for diverse conditions, including PTSD and COVID-related anosmia.

Mediterranean Pain Forum 2023
This congress is aimed at all medical pain professional figures, both medical specialists, such as anesthetist, orthopedist, neurosurgeon, physiatrist, general practitioners, and last but not least, our nurses, who want to strengthen their technical skills or who want to get a good overview of the main topics of interest in pain medicine.
You will have the opportunity to learn the main characteristics of chronic pain and its treatment. The basic notions will be provided in order to be able to conduct an accurate “assessment” of a patient with chronic pain.
Some topics of frequent interest are also be featured, such as the main minimally invasive interventional treatments and possible complications. Fortunately, medical science is meeting in this field, proposing ever new drugs and techniques, such as radiofrequency and spinal cord stimulation.

E-CAP Controlled Closed Loop SCS
Dr. Jan Willem Kalleward talks about ECAP controlled closed loop spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and its outcomes after 24 months in the EVOKE study, a double-blind clinical trial. He explains that chronic pain is a complex issue and emphasizes the need for multidimensional assessments based on the guidelines of the consortium and neuromodulation society clinical trial. Dr. Kalleward emphasizes the significance of considering a more holistic outcome criterion, rather than just pain scores, in the EVOKE study.
