Comprehensive Review of Pain Medicine 2020 — stimulation science, atypical opioids and faith at the end of life
The Comprehensive Review of Pain Medicine 2020 is the earliest edition of this annual series in the Clinicapedia catalogue, released on 15 September 2020 as 49 video lectures with an accompanying PDF. Its centre of gravity is interventional: eleven talks dissect spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion and glial stimulation, intrathecal delivery and CSF dynamics. What sets it apart is a palliative block in which Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist perspectives on suffering are presented side by side.
- 49video lectures
- 7topic blocks
- 5faith traditions on end-of-life pain
- 2020release
What you’ll be able to do
- Follow emerging analgesic targets beyond the mu receptor, from sodium channels to the vagal inflammatory reflex
- Appraise claims made for newer spinal cord stimulation technology and use neuromonitoring to improve safety
- Plan analgesia for the opioid-tolerant surgical patient and monitor for respiratory depression
- Place atypical opioids and patient-centred opioid reduction within a balanced prescribing stance
- Discuss pain and dying with patients of different religious backgrounds
- Respond calmly if the DEA questions your prescribing and reduce malpractice exposure
Inside the course
New targets and interventional therapy
Five research-minded talks on novel analgesic mechanisms lead into eleven on stimulation and intrathecal therapy, including the argument for intervening early in cancer pain.
Comprehensive Review of Pain Medicine 2020 clinical care block
The longest section, at eighteen lectures, covers postoperative opioid strategy, military pain medicine, regenerative approaches, behavioural medicine, sex differences in pain sensitivity, postamputation pain and nerve entrapment.
Policy, law and health systems
A search for middle ground in opioid policy, lifestyle as a risk factor, a DEA insider’s view, a plaintiff lawyer’s advice and two talks on outcomes measurement and adapting pain practices to change.
Cancer pain and palliative care
Seven sessions on difficult conversations, five faith traditions and current palliative research.
Built for
