S09 Advancing Pain Management Science and Education: ASRA Special Session Featured

3:30 PM - 5:00 PM Saturday, July 17

This session will highlight recent advancements in both interventional and noninterventional chronic pain treatment strategies. The session will provide up-to-date information on treatments including buprenorphine management, noninvasive neurostimulation for headaches, evidence-based radiation safety best practices, and cervical and lumbar facet treatment.

Recently an international multispecialty group developed new practice guidelines for the treatment of lumbar facet pain. These guidelines cover best practices and a review of the evidence for the treatment of lumbar facet pain.

As interventional pain procedures become more complex, radiation exposure often increases. A recent international survey defined the current level of radiation knowledge and compliance with dose reduction strategies. Recommendations to improve education and safety will be provided based on this data.

Opioid dependence and addiction often are treatment challenges for pain physicians. Recommendations for the use of buprenorphine treatment in substance abuse disorders will be characterized.

Lately, significant interest has been placed on the use of noninvasive neuromodulation treatments for headaches. A talk will be provided on current recommendations and evidence.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Define the appropriate utilization of buprenorphine in the treatment of pain and substance abuse disorders.
  • Characterize the current level of radiation safety knowledge and education. Describe radiation safety best practices.
  • Define noninvasive neurostimulation for headaches.
  • Apply the new consensus practice guideline recommendations for the treatment of lumbar facet pain.
