National and international experts in the field will highlight major challenges and nonstandard solutions affecting our specialty after the COVID-19 pandemic. They will analyze new disrupters in the field and provide a better view and understanding of their effects – whether good or bad – and if they are sustainable as well as whether their effects are reproducible in real practice. These leading sessions along with a translational and clinical focus will help deliver information and take-home value skills that you can put to immediate use in practice. Session highlights include innovative treatments for multiple chronic conditions; neuromodulation; combating the opioid epidemic; gene therapy; cancer pain; complementary/alternative, regenerative, and psychological techniques; use of virtual reality and artificial intelligence; hands-on workshops with ultrasound-guided therapies; vertebral pain; metastatic bone radiofrequency ablation; direct/indirect disc decompression procedures; and much more.
