Described as an “internationally recognized academic figure in the field of pain medicine,” Dr. Mark Bicket is a Presidential Scholar Award recipient.
Dr. Vishal Uppal is an associate professor and the director of the regional anesthesia fellowship program at Dalhousie University, located in Halifax, Canada.
A study out of Stanford University has found that use of a femoral catheter in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery is associated with better results.
A study has found no association between prescription glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist medications and increased risk of aspiration or pneumonia in surgery patients.
A study has found that patients undergoing shoulder surgery who receive continuous nerve blocks experience less pain following surgery compared to those who receive single-shot nerve blocks and continuous analgesia.
Researchers at the Hospital for Special Surgery study the potential role of perioperative cannabinoids for pain management and opioid reduction with patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Researchers from the London Health Sciences Centre use anatomical dissection to identify undocumented nerve pathways for the most diagnosed cancer worldwide.
ASRA Pain Medicine awards Dr. Brian Brenner for his contributions to regional anesthesia and pain medicine.
He will present his award lecture, "Regional Anesthesia and Outcomes: Past, Present, and Future” on Saturday, March 23, in conjunction with the 49th Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting, in San Diego, CA.
Chief of anesthesia for Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and professor of anesthesiology and pain medicine at the University of Toronto, Dr. Colin McCartney is to receive the 2024 Distinguished Service Award this March.
One approach to treating chronic low back pain is something called lumbar medial branch nerve radiofrequency ablation/neurotomy (LRFA), which targets painful facet joints. However, it has been suggested that LRFA may lead to multifidus muscle denervation, given its shared innervation from these nerves.
Physicians from Pittsburgh, PA, wanted to determine the usefulness of MRI in determining treatment plans. MRI is expensive and requires insurance preauthorization. One hypothesis was that patients with specific characteristics might have a greater benefit from the added step.
It is no secret that the mainstay of postoperative analgesia is opioid based, but studies confirm that the execution of a multimodal postoperative analgesic approach to postoperative pain control can help minimize opiate side effects.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to treat chronic low back pain continues to rise. Optimal patient selection remains one of the most important factors for SCS success. Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center believe they’ve found one group that is not likely to respond well.
Utilizing both high spinal anesthesia (HSA) and general anesthesia (GA) may lead to faster patient recovery times and overall better patient care when used in pediatric congenital heart surgery.
Founder and director of the Fibromyalgia and Centralized Pain Exploration (FACE) Lab, Dr. Andrea Chadwick is to receive the 2023 Presidential Scholar Award this November.
David Julius, PhD, who received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2021, has been selected to receive ASRA Pain Medicine’s 2023 John J. Bonica Award. He will present the annual lecture on Saturday, November 11, in conjunction with the 22nd Annual Pain Medicine Meeting in New Orleans, LA.
A study has found that ketamine may be more helpful in preventing postoperative pain among a subset of patients with a higher tendency toward central sensitization as measured by TSP (temporal summation of pain).
