Ultrasound-Guided Interventional Pain Management Procedures

This workshop focuses on the use of real‑time ultrasound to guide interventional pain management procedures. Participants will review relevant anatomy, ultrasound physics, and safety considerations before observing needle placement for facet joint blocks, sacroiliac joint injections, and peripheral nerve blocks. Emphasis is placed on image optimization, sterile technique, and avoidance of vascular structures.

On May 9, 2027 online, the day begins with a concise didactic session followed by live demonstrations at the live online classroom. After the morning lecture, clinicians move to a hands‑on station where they practice under faculty supervision, adjusting probe position and needle trajectory on models that simulate common pain targets. The schedule includes case discussions that integrate imaging findings with clinical decision‑making.

The program is intended for physicians, advanced practice providers, and other licensed clinicians who regularly perform interventional pain procedures and wish to incorporate ultrasound guidance into their practice. It is also appropriate for those seeking to update their technique, improve patient safety, and enhance procedural efficiency. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for integrating ultrasound into routine pain management workflows.
