Stanford Medcast Episode 11: Hot Topics Mini-Series - Neuromodulation/Neurostimulation

Tuesday, January 19, 2021, 12:00 AM - Thursday, August 31, 2023, 11:59 PM

This episode will address the topic of neuromodulation for the treatment of pain. There have been many advances in neurostimulation for pain management, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation and other technolgies that reduce dependance on opioids and other non-opioid medications. The panel of expert presenters will discuss the advances in this area and the potential impact on patient care and outcomes.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (0.75 hours), Non-Physician Participation Credit (0.75 hours)

1. Evaluate advances in neuromodulation techniques for treating patients presenting with both chronic or actute pain.
2. Develop strategies to incorporate new techniques in practice in order to improve patient care and outcomes.
3. Evaluate the data on neurostimulation safety and efficacy.

In support of improving patient care, Stanford Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
