Pain Management

The rotation in pain management teaches the residents the principles and practice of acute, chronic, and cancer pain management.  During this rotation residents participate in evaluating patients, formulating differential diagnoses and treatment plans, performing diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks, and interacting with referring physicians in the role of a consultant.

 

A dedicated procedure room, equipped with fluoroscopy, is reserved for use by the pain service.  More involved procedures are performed in this room, while simpler procedures may be performed in one of the treatment rooms located within the pain clinic.
