Pain - Neuromodulation for Back Pain

This session will examine the mechanisms for various neuromodulatory therapies that target intractable chronic low back pain.

Learning Objectives

• Review the proposed mechanisms and evidence supporting burst waveforms and HF-10 neuromodulatory therapies for low back pain.
• Describe the proposed mechanisms and evidence supporting DRG stimulation and percutaneous PNS for the treatment of low back pain.
• Discuss the proposed mechanism and evidence supporting multifidus neuromuscular stimulation for the treatment of low back pain.
• Explain the use of emerging restorative treatment mechanisms for low back pain.
