PAIN Neuromodulation for Advanced Implantable Therapies: A Hands-On Cadaver Course for Pain Fellows
This event combines didactics on spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery systems, as well as other approved clinical applications of neuromodulation strategies, with practical hands-on training in a cadaver laboratory. This premier training opportunity offers pain medicine fellows the opportunity to learn cutting-edge neuromodulation techniques and principles of implementation in clinical practice. Techniques explored include spinal cord trials and implants, intrathecal drug delivery trials and implants, peripheral nerve stimulation, suturing, and maintenance of neuromodulation therapies. Participants are under the direction of experienced faculty. This workshop's intent is to foster a platform for networking and to create excitement in the neuromodulation space.
This activity is not eligible for CME credits.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the mechanisms of neuromodulation therapies, including spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal drug delivery, and peripheral nerve stimulation.
- Identify appropriate patient indications and selection criteria for neuromodulation therapies.
- Illustrate trialing methods for spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery.
- Describe measures and methods to identify, limit, and manage biologic, technical and hardware-related complications of neuromodulation therapies.
- Discuss management and dosing of intrathecal drugs and delivery methods.
This is a highly competitive training opportunity. Workshop participants are selected by an application process. Registration and attendance at the NANS Mid-Year Meeting is a requirement for participation in this workshop.
