INTERVENTIONAL PAIN CONGRESS – MAIN TOPICS
• Flouroscopic radiology for interventions and radiation safety
• Interventional procedures in cranial neuralgias (trigeminal, sphenopalatine, glossopharyngeal)
• Cervical spinal interventions (Interlaminar, transforaminal injections, medial branch block)
• Lumbar and sacral spinal interventions (Transforaminal injection, medial branch block, nerve root block DRG)
• Sympathetic nervous system: Interventional treatments (stellate, thoracic symphathetic, lumbar symphathetic ganglions)
• Invasive cancer pain therapy (splanchnic, celiac, hypogastric, impar ganglions)
• Neuromodulation: New indications – recent advances in electrical neuromodulation
• SCS and chronic pain: What is the evidence?
• Drugs and pumps for intrathecal drug delivery
• Interventional techniques for peripheral neuropathies
• New scientific evidence for pulsed RF
• Regenerative procedures for pain
• Epiduroscopy and epidural neuroplasty
• Precautions for the complications of interventional treatment modalities
