Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, a common cause of lower back pain in older adults, may benefit from minimally invasive lumbar decompression. Patients receiving the procedure reported significant reductions in pain, along with better physical function and no decrease in mobility or quality of life. The investigators’ abstract received a Resident/Fellow Travel award from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA Pain Medicine) and will be presented at the upcoming 23rd Annual Pain Medicine Meeting in Las Vegas, NV.
Mobile health applications can be powerful tools for tracking patients’ health and reducing hospital visits. However, patients are more likely to sign up for these apps if a clinician or research assistant enrolls them during an in-person visit. This is just one aspect of a broader research project evaluating mobile health apps in relation to spine injection outcomes. The investigators’ abstract received Best of Meeting and Resident/Fellow Travel awards from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA Pain Medicine) and will be presented at the upcoming 23rd Annual Pain Medicine Meeting in Las Vegas, NV.
Veterans with fibromyalgia experienced significant improvements in pain, sleep, mood, and overall health in a study looking at a procedure called cranial electrotherapy stimulation. The study found an association between the procedure and specific brain activity that could support management of chronic pain without drugs. The investigators’ abstract received a Best of Meeting award from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA Pain Medicine) and will be presented at the upcoming 23rd Annual Pain Medicine Meeting in Las Vegas, NV.
Researchers have discovered a link between certain genes and the number of opioid tablets that patients took after receiving surgery for torn ACLs. The insights support further evaluation of personalized pain management plans, which could help reduce unnecessary opioid subscribing.
Chronic pain patients using spinal cord stimulators experienced pain relief, improvement in disability and sleep, and reduction in opioid use with fast-acting subperception therapy (FAST). The positive findings continued over a 12-month period.
Known for his work in the development and recognition of interventional pain management as a multidisciplinary approach for chronic pain in Belgium and the Netherlands, Dr. Van Zundert will present his lecture, “Less is More” during the 23rd Annual Pain Medicine Meeting, being held November 21-23, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV.
“My passion is teaching with a special interest in ultrasound imaging guidance for pain medicine,” Dr. Shankar states. He will be recognized at the 23rd Annual Pain Medicine Meeting on November 23, 2024, in Las Vegas, NV.

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.
