Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants will have an understanding of the clinical aspects of ultrasound anatomy, knowledge of the difference between ultrasound and fluoroscopy for interventional pain procedures, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique for cervical spine, lumbar spine, trunk, peripheral nerve, musculoskeletal joint and tendon injections. Participants will also have a better understanding of basic principles, knobology and sterility, and local anesthetic choices during ultrasound guided pain interventional procedures.
Target Audience
This program is designed for Pain Practitioners, Anesthesiologists, PM&R physicians, Neurologists and Sports Medicine physicians currently using or wishing to use ultrasound technology for interventional pain procedures. All didactic lectures will address aspects of ultrasound anatomy, performance of the block, ultrasound versus fluoroscopy, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

Program at-a-Glance
(The schedule is subject to change.)
Prerequisite
Prior experience with some basic chronic pain block procedures and ultrasound-guided technical skills is an asset but not mandatory.
Course Description
The course will cover a number of selected nerve block procedures for chronic pain management involving neuraxial, peripheral nerve and soft tissue structures.
They are:
1. Ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric nerve injection
2. Intercostal nerve block
3. Suprascapular nerve injection
4. Piriformis muscle injection
5. Cervical sympathetic (stellate ganglion) block
6. Lumbosacral and caudal spine imaging and injection
7. Ultrasound guided Musculoskeletal injection
