Welcome

Session

Description: This session will be a panel discussion to answer the proposed clinical question: Should we ablate or stimulate the lumbar medial branch nerve (LMBN) to treat chronic axial low back pain? Speakers will be experts in the field of pain medicine with an emphasis in comprehensive, multidisciplinary spine care from different academic centers nationwide. We will utilize audiovisual aids and have an interactive discussion with the audience reviewing the evidence based behind the clinical question proposed with time for Q&A, slides presentations, review of guidelines and newly published evidence from (past 3 years) on this topic that have the potential to alter the way we perform LMBN ablation and LMBN stimulation and how we may evolve in clinical practice.
