Pain diagnosis, treatment and safe narcotics Prescription Agenda
Our Pain medicine seminar is organized by topic as listed below and by body region for easier understanding and learning. The clinical reality is more complex. A single disease can affect multiple systems and organs. Different diseases can present the same or similar symptoms. We use case studies to illustrate the principle, fortify learning, and hopefully effect clinical practice.
- Headache
- Neck, shoulder, and arm pain
- Back and leg pain
- Cervical and lumbar spine myelopathy recognition
- Peripheral nerve impingement syndromes
- Neuropathic pain
- Pelvic and genital pain
