Research Spotlight: Pain and Spine Medicine (Saturday)-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Thank you to all the presenters for sharing their research on topics such as the use of cannabidiol for low back pain, genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation for knee osteoarthritis, clinical practice guidelines for low back pain, and the role of EMG in cervical epidural steroid injections. The presentations highlighted the potential benefits of using cannabidiol as a treatment for pain management, the efficacy of genicular nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation in reducing knee pain and improving function, the variability in the quality of clinical practice guidelines, and the predictive value of EMG confirmation in cervical radiculopathy. These research findings have the potential to impact clinical practice by guiding treatment decisions, improving patient outcomes, and reducing unnecessary procedures.
