Join Dr. Vishal Uppal and Dr. Juan Carlos for a discussion on rebound pain after nerve blocks. They will review key risk factors, strategies to prevent and reduce rebound pain, and approaches to managing established rebound pain, including multimodal analgesia, patient education, and rescue analgesia.

Join Dr. Yashar Eshraghi, MD, and Dr. Thomas Buchheit, MD, for an evidence-based discussion on the role of regenerative therapies in acute pain management. This session reviews the scientific literature surrounding orthobiologic and regenerative therapies, explores the post-injury healing cascade and the role of immune cells in resolving inflammation and pain, and examines the mechanisms that promote post-operative healing. Attendees will gain practical insights into the potential benefits, limitations, and clinical applications of regenerative therapies to support evidence-based decision-making following injury or surgery.

Join Dr. Yasmine Hoydonckx, MD, MSc, FIPP, and Dr. Hsiangkuo (Scott) Yuan, MD, PhD, FAHS, for an evidence-based discussion on the latest headache management guidelines. This session explores the current evidence supporting commonly used intravenous medications for inpatient headache treatment, reviews the newly published ASRA Pain Medicine inpatient headache infusion guidelines, and highlights key updates to the International Headache Society recommendations for acute and preventive migraine management. Attendees will gain practical insights into applying these guideline-driven strategies to optimize headache care across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings.

Please note: The following webinar does not contain CME.

Join us for an engaging webinar featuring Drs. Rakesh Sondekoppam and Maria Paz Sebastian, with special moderation by Dr. Stephen Haskins, as they discuss best practices in the prevention, recognition, and management of peripheral nerve injuries. This session will explore the “Statistical Funnel” of postoperative neurological symptoms, helping attendees distinguish between common transient symptoms and rare permanent injuries to support patient counseling and follow-up. Speakers will also highlight high-risk patient populations, the “double crush” phenomenon, and practical strategies to reduce injury risk through multimodal monitoring techniques, including ultrasound, nerve stimulation, and injection pressure monitoring. Attendees will also gain insight into identifying and managing postoperative neurological symptoms that require urgent evaluation and intervention.

Join Dr. Che Solla, MD, and Dr. Jason Buehler, MD, for a focused discussion on global health and combat pain management. This session explores host-country perspectives on short-term medical missions, including their benefits, challenges, and sustainability, alongside a review of the Joint Trauma System guidelines for managing pain, anxiety, and delirium in combat settings. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementing multimodal analgesia strategies to improve patient outcomes in complex environments.

Join us for an insightful webinar featuring Drs. Nadia Hernandez and Jennifer Noerenberg, with special moderation by Dr. Melody Anderson, as they explore practical strategies for building and sustaining regional anesthesia services across diverse practice settings. This session will highlight scalable staffing and workflow models, key operational components for both hospital-based and private practice environments, and approaches to maintaining quality, safety, and education across large, multisite departments. Attendees will also gain insight into financial considerations, efficiency optimization, and strategies to strengthen service differentiation in competitive markets.

In this webinar, Dr. Leena Mathew (Division of Pain Medicine, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY) and Dr. Amy Pearson (Aurora Advocate Health, Milwaukee, WI) will explore the role of aromatherapy as an adjunctive modality in pain management. The session will review essential oil composition and labeling, including how breeding and cultivation influence chemical properties and therapeutic effects. Faculty will also discuss the neurobiological mechanisms of olfactory signaling in limbic pain processing and autonomic regulation, along with the evidence supporting aromatherapy for analgesia and anxiolysis. Practical guidance will be provided to help clinicians identify essential oils that can be safely incorporated into clinical practice.

In this webinar, Sarah Tierney and Yuqi Gu (University of Ottawa) will discuss the development and implementation of Acute Pain Service analgesic care pathways for rib fractures, lower limb amputation, and hip fracture patients. The session will review the evidence supporting peripheral nerve blocks in older adults with hip fracture and outline a pathway designed using principles of implementation science. Participants will gain practical insight into key resources, common and unexpected pitfalls, and real-world solutions for creating and sustaining APS analgesic pathways across diverse practice settings.

In this webinar, Dr. Eshraghi (Ochsner Health System), Dr. Bautista (University of Louisville), and Dr. Kohan (University of Virginia) will discuss perioperative management of patients with implanted neuromodulation devices, including peripheral nerve stimulation, intrathecal drug delivery systems, and spinal cord stimulators. The session will focus on key preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations, with practical guidance on neuraxial anesthesia, device safety, and risk mitigation. Participants will gain insight into pre-procedural planning, technique modifications, multidisciplinary communication, and strategies to prevent complications such as electromagnetic interference, infection, device malfunction, and inadequate analgesia.

Learning Objectives:

1. Recognize the diversity of Neuromodulation options for pain in 2025.
2. Balance patient pain disorders with safety, practicality, and access to neuromodulation.
3. Evaluate differential targets for the peripheral nervous system and dorsal root ganglia versus the spinal cord.
