In this episode of the Spine & Nerve Podcast, Dr. Brian Joves and Dr. Jason Kung dive into the evolving world of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). As the field of pain medicine continues to progress, new studies are offering more insights into advanced therapies for challenging conditions like peripheral neuralgia and chronic pain. This discussion focused on the COMFORT study, which evaluates the efficacy of the Nalu PNS System, and discuss recent data presented at the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) meeting concerning the SPRINT PNS System. Key Topics Covered: COMFORT Study Insights: The doctors analyze the one-year data from the COMFORT trial, a randomized controlled study assessing the Nalu PNS System combined with conventional treatments versus conventional treatments alone for chronic neuropathic pain. They highlight significant findings, including an 87% responder rate with an average pain reduction of 69% among responders at 12 months. SPRINT PNS System Data: Discussion extends to new data from the SPRINT PNS System, particularly the RESET Clinical Trial, which compares 60-day percutaneous PNS to standard interventional management for chronic low back pain. The trial's primary endpoint results indicate that PNS provided clinically meaningful and statistically superior reductions in pain, as well as improvements in function and quality of life. Clinical Implications and Future Directions: Dr. Joves and Dr. Kung explore the broader implications of these studies for clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment plans and the potential for PNS therapies to offer durable pain relief. They also discuss the evolving landscape of pain management and the need for ongoing research to refine and validate these therapeutic approaches.

Episode Overview: In this episode, Dr. Brian Joves sits down with Dr. Scott Pritzlaff, an esteemed pain management specialist and the residency program director at UC Davis, to tackle some big questions on the current state and future of pain medicine. They dive into Dr. Pritzlaff's recent thought-provoking editorial, "From Pain Medicine to Pain Surgery: How Our Specialty Lost Its Way," which critiques the field’s shifting focus toward procedures at the expense of comprehensive patient care. Together, Dr. Joves and Dr. Pritzlaff discuss challenges in pain medicine, including recruitment issues, the evolving landscape of interventional procedures, and the complexities of training the next generation of pain specialists. Key Topics Discussed: The Evolution of Pain Medicine: Dr. Pritzlaff explains the rapid technological advancements in pain medicine, especially in peripheral nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, and minimally invasive spine procedures. While these advancements offer more options for patients, he warns that they can overshadow the core values of patient-centered care and non-procedural management. Pain Medicine’s “Identity Crisis”: In his editorial, Dr. Pritzlaff questions the growing emphasis on procedures and the trend of “pain surgery” within the specialty. He emphasizes that pain management is about more than just interventions—it’s about the art of diagnosis, multidisciplinary treatment plans, and knowing when not to perform procedures. This emphasis on procedure-heavy training, he argues, risks alienating future specialists who are passionate about comprehensive patient care. The Challenge of Training in a One-Year Fellowship: With the increasing complexity of pain medicine, a one-year fellowship may no longer suffice. Dr. Pritzlaff advocates for an expanded training period to cover essential skills, such as advanced imaging interpretation, opioid and multimodal pharmacology, and honing the “soft skills” crucial for patient communication and holistic care. Recruitment Issues in Pain Medicine: Pain medicine residency applications have dropped, especially from anesthesiology—a trend driven largely by competitive anesthesiology salaries and demand. Dr. Pritzlaff and Dr. Joves discuss how pain medicine needs to rebrand itself to attract applicants who are passionate about improving patients’ quality of life through comprehensive care, not just procedures. Future Training Models and Vision for Pain Medicine: A 2 year fellowship model or a dedicated residency program are presented as potential solutions to better prepare trainees. Dr. Pritzlaff imagines a program where the first year focuses on foundational knowledge and multi-disciplinary skills, and a second year sharpens advanced interventional skills. Takeaways for Listeners: Pain medicine is at a pivotal point, balancing advancements in interventional procedures with the traditional values of comprehensive patient care. The field must prioritize holistic training and mentorship to foster well-rounded pain physicians who can deliver thoughtful, personalized care.

Dr. Winters highlights the importance of knowing when to lead as an expert and when to step back and facilitate collaboration, especially in complex, uncertain environments. 🤝 Leading Teams & Self: As a physician leader, it’s essential to learn how to lead small teams, larger organizations, and, most importantly, yourself. Dr. Winters discusses the value of self-awareness and continuous personal development. 💬 Quotes from the Episode: "Expertise is valuable, but knowing when to step back and allow others to contribute can be even more powerful." "Physician leadership isn’t just about running committees or managing departments—it’s about how we interact, communicate, and support the people around us every day." "Coaching is about helping people find their own answers. It’s not about telling them what to do." 📈 Practical Applications: For New Leaders: If you're stepping into a leadership role for the first time, this episode will help you understand the dynamics of leading teams and how to balance your role as an expert with that of a coach. For Mentors and Coaches: Learn how to support younger physicians by balancing mentorship and coaching, helping them grow without imposing your own path on them.

In this episode of the Spine & Nerve podcast, Dr. Jason Kung and Dr. Brian Joves delve into a comprehensive discussion surrounding anticoagulation guidelines and their implications in interventional pain procedures. With over a hundred thousand downloads and over 1,000 YouTube subscribers, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the listeners for your engagement and support. Please continue to share and subscribe to help more people discover the podcast. Today's episode focuses on the safety of epidural steroid injections and the critical role of anticoagulation management.Understanding the rationale behind a patient's anticoagulation therapy is vital for interventional pain physicians. This approach empowers clinicians to make informed decisions about whether to continue or withhold anticoagulation medications prior to procedures. There is a delicate balance between patient-specific risks and the benefits of these interventions. One of the things that must be known and emphasized is the remarkable safety profile of epidural steroid injections. Approximately nine million epidural steroid injections are administered annually, resulting in an adverse event rate of about one in 780,000. This reassuring statistic is attributed to the collaborative efforts of medical societies and the implementation of strict anticoagulation guidelines. The hosts emphasize the role of fluoroscopic guidance, non-particulate steroids, and avoidance of deep sedation in enhancing the safety of these procedures. The episode further delves into the nuances of assessing bleeding risks in patients undergoing interventional pain procedures. As always, we must underscore the importance of a comprehensive physical examination, with a specific focus on identifying signs of easy bruising and mucosal bleeding. The hosts discuss the relevance of specific medications, including aspirin and NSAIDs, and their implications for procedural safety. The hosts engage in an insightful exploration of the guidelines for managing anticoagulation medications pre- and post-procedure. They stress the need for pain physicians to consider the anatomical location of the intervention and evaluate the potential risks versus benefits. The doctors conclude the episode by highlighting the crucial role of shared decision-making and patient education. By fostering collaboration between patients and physicians, the hosts emphasize the creation of a safe and informed healthcare environment.In this thought-provoking episode, the doctors try to help you navigate the complexities of anticoagulation management in interventional pain procedures, and offer some insights for practitioners seeking to provide the highest level of care to their patients.
