Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session discussed the role of peripheral nerve stimulation in physiatry practice. The moderator and speakers highlighted the advancements in peripheral nerve stimulation technology and its growing use in treating a range of conditions. They emphasized that peripheral nerve stimulation offers a minimally invasive and low-risk option for patients who have not responded to other treatments or who want to avoid medication or surgery. The speakers presented case studies of patients with conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome, post-stroke shoulder pain, knee osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain. They demonstrated how ultrasound imaging can be used to guide the placement of stimulation leads directly onto the target nerves. The session also highlighted the importance of early intervention with peripheral nerve stimulation to prevent chronic pain and improve patient outcomes. The speakers stressed the need for physiatrists to stay up-to-date on the various peripheral nerve stimulation devices and their indications in order to provide the best treatment options for their patients. Overall, the session provided valuable insights into the benefits and potential applications of peripheral nerve stimulation in physiatry practice.
