ICRAPAIN 2025 – Day 1 (31st Aug) Hall B Lectures | Pain Medicine, Interventions & Research

Welcome to the ICRAPAIN 2025 Day 1 Hall B Lecture Series, held on 31st August 2025. This page brings you direct access to expert-led pain medicine lectures, covering the latest advances in interventional pain management, ultrasound-guided procedures, radiofrequency ablation, and evidence-based clinical pain practice.

Day 1 Hall B sessions focus on musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain management, cancer pain protocols, and practical updates in C-arm-guided and ultrasound-guided interventions. Learn from leading pain physicians, anesthesiologists, and researchers as they share cutting-edge knowledge, clinical pearls, and live case discussions.

These sessions are ideal for pain specialists, anesthesiologists, physiatrists, and orthopedic practitioners who want to stay ahead in the fast-evolving field of pain medicine. Whether you are preparing for FIPP, CIPS, or other pain board certifications or simply seeking to enhance your clinical expertise, you will find these lectures invaluable.

Morning Session | Day- 1 Hall B Session 1 | Regeneration Therapy

Kick off ICRAPAIN 2025 in Hall-B with our first Regeneration Therapy session—seven embedded lectures covering the science and practice of orthobiologics in pain medicine. Learn evidence-based use of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrate), Prolotherapy, and microfragmented adipose tissue for osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and spine-related pain. Sessions highlight ultrasound-guided and C-arm–guided injection techniques, patient selection, dosing and preparation protocols, safety, outcomes, and practical workflows for clinic and OR. Ideal for pain physicians, anesthesiologists, and MSK specialists seeking interventional pain updates and regenerative medicine best practices.

Pre-Lunch Session | Day-1 Hall-B, Session 2 | Peripheral Nerve Entrapments

Dive into 10 embedded lectures on diagnosing and treating peripheral nerve entrapments that drive neuropathic pain in daily practice. Faculty cover high-resolution ultrasound mapping, EMG/nerve conduction correlation, and step-by-step ultrasound-guided interventions—from perineural hydrodissection and targeted injectables to pulsed radiofrequency (PRF), cryoneurolysis, and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). Case-led talks encompass common and complex sites, including the carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, radial tunnel, meralgia paresthetica (involving the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve), tarsal tunnel, common peroneal nerve at the fibular head, suprascapular nerve, piriformis-related sciatic entrapment, and thoracic outlet–type presentations. Learn practical patient selection, scan protocols, safety pearls, post-procedure rehab, and when to refer for surgical decompression. Essential viewing for pain physicians, anesthesiologists, PM&R, orthopedics, and MSK sonologists seeking cutting-edge interventional pain management for entrapment neuropathies.

Post-Lunch Session | Session 3 | Day-1, Hall B | How I scan It

Settle in for the “How I Scan It” masterclass—bite-sized, expert walkthroughs of ultrasound scanning workflows used daily by leading pain physicians. These embedded lectures show exactly how to scan key MSK joints and peripheral nerves: probe selection and presets, patient positioning, sonoanatomy landmarks, dynamic maneuvers, Doppler use, needle visualization (in-plane/out-of-plane), safety checks, and fast troubleshooting. Coverage spans shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, ankle/foot, and high-yield nerves, with cervical/thoracic/lumbar paraspinal views and occasional C-arm correlation where relevant. Apply these scan paths to PRP/BMAC, hydrodissection, RFA/PRF, diagnostic blocks, and post-procedure documentation—practical, reproducible, and clinic-ready.

Evening Session | Session 4 | Day-1, Hall-B | Pain Interventions & More

Close Day 1 with a high-yield tour of interventional pain management—from ultrasound-guided and C-arm–guided injections to advanced neuro-modulation. These embedded lectures distill real-world technique, decision pathways, and safety pearls for facet medial branch blocks & RFA, sacroiliac joint injections/RFA, genicular nerve blocks & RFA for knee OA, selective nerve root blocks, epidural adhesiolysis, sympathetic blocks (stellate, celiac, lumbar), cryo-neurolysis, pulsed RF (PRF), and introductions to peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Expect step-by-step targeting, sonoanatomy/fluoro views, injectate choices, lesion parameters, complication avoidance, post-procedure rehab, documentation, and outcome tracking—everything you need to translate evidence into clinic-ready procedures.

You’ll learn to:

Choose the right patient, approach, and guidance modality (US vs fluoroscopy)
Hit precise landmarks/trajectories and maintain needle visualization
Optimize RFA/PRF settings, injectates, and peri-procedural workflows
Manage risks, consent, and documentation to improve safety and outcomes
