S06 Neuromodulation vs. Lesioning for the Management of Pain
Neuromodulation is a re-emerging part of the treatment for the management of chronic pain disorders. At the same time, the importance of appropriately indicated lesioning procedures remains understated. Data from well-designed trials appears promising and hopes to provide insight into appropriate target selection. This session will discuss innovative targeting for the treatment of chronic pain, explore potential mechanisms of action, and discuss high-yield case presentations.
