ICRAPAIN 2025 – Day 1 Hall A | Scientific Program & Sessions
Day 1 Hall A of ICRAPAIN 2025 – International Conference on Recent Advances in Pain is designed for pain physicians who want to stay at the forefront of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK USG), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and next-generation interventional pain procedures. This track brings together globally recognized experts to share live scanning demonstrations, advanced image-guided techniques, and the latest evidence in ultrasound-guided interventions, fluoroscopic procedures, AI integration in pain medicine, and minimally invasive spine and joint therapies.
Whether you’re an early adopter of ultrasound or a seasoned pain specialist, this day delivers hands-on imaging insights, technology updates, and clinical pearls to enhance both your diagnostic and therapeutic practice. The sessions also highlight patient safety, outcome optimization, and practical workflow tips for busy pain clinics.
Session 1: Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Live Demonstration & Sonoanatomy
This immersive session focuses on high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound scanning across major joints and the spine. Expert faculty reveal probe positioning, sonoanatomy landmarks, needle trajectories, and image optimization techniques for pain interventions. Ideal for those incorporating ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, regenerative injections, and joint procedures into their practice.

Grand Quiz Competition at ICRAPAIN 2025
One of the most exciting highlights of ICRAPAIN 2025 was the Grand Quiz Competition, known as the PAINBRAIN Tournament, held before the Gala Dinner. This high-energy event brought together pain physicians, fellows, and residents from across the country to test their clinical knowledge, decision-making skills, and latest updates in pain medicine. With challenging, case-based questions and rapid-fire rounds, the quiz created an atmosphere of enthusiasm and friendly competition while promoting interactive learning. It was not only a battle of knowledge but also a celebration of academic excellence in pain management.
