S10 Connecting With Our Patients: Educational Tools to Improve Understanding and Access to Neuromodulation Therapies Featured
This session will explore the modalities to connect and educate patients on neuromodulation therapies. In particular, it will describe how a clear and detailed explanation of various mechanisms of action of SCS will allow patients to understand and be willing to accept neuromodulation therapies more easily. Additionally, we will explore the role of virtual educational tools and social media in promoting neuromodulation therapies as valid early options for treating chronic pain. This session will also present the history of barriers to high-quality medical care for communities of color and discuss how that history informs and creates current challenges.
