Neurostimulation Bio-Skills Lab 2023

Neurostimulation Bio-Skills Lab is organized by Spine Intervention Society (SIS) and will be held from Sep 23 - 24, 2023 at Hyatt Regency Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.

Description:
Technological advances and strong evidence of efficacy are setting the stage for expanded demand for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) therapy to assist our most challenging spine pain patients. To succeed in this burgeoning practice area, you need to be proficient in SCS lead placement for both lumbar and cervical regions, understand driving and positioning surgical techniques for spinal stimulation placement, understand potential complications, know the supportive literature, review case presentations, and be aware of current and future trends for neurostimulation technologies. This SIS Neurostimulation course addresses these aspects plus gives you intense, hands-on training in surgical implantation techniques in small-groups. 

This course brings you face-to-face with our highly-trained faculty members, each with over a decade of experience practicing neurostimulation. Join an elite group of fellow physicians to learn, practice, and add the art and science of spinal cord stimulation to your armamentarium.

Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Compare the different systems available and make the system, technique, and modality selection based on specific patient needs;
• Identify the risks and benefits of spinal cord stimulators, as well as assessment, prevention, and treatment of potential complications;
• Apply programming and medical management for neuromodulation devices; and
• Name the literature support for the validity of the modalities.
