Selecting Appropriate indications:
major Joint Osteoarthritis
headache Disorders
peripheral Neuralgia

Session

Description: This session will explore the use of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) in real-world clinical settings, with an emphasis on discussing variances in practice patterns and utilization.

Using a group discussion format, our panel will discuss and provide key perspectives on selecting nerve targets (including utility of history and physical exams, nerve blocks, and nerve conduction testing), choosing appropriate patients (for indications ranging from osteoarthritis to headache disorders to peripheral neuralgias), and considering device parameters (such as stimulation waveforms, temporary vs. permanent devices, and use of trial-to-permanent paradigms).

This session will follow the highly engaging Pardon the Interruption format, in which panelists will leverage evolving literature to take contrary positions, generating thoughtful discussion while acknowledging the emerging nature of research in this space and its limitations.

This session is directed to trainees and practicing physicians where a multi-disciplinary panel of physicians with various expert insights will discuss various facets of PNS treatments.
