Complications in interventional pain treatment
Interventional pain management, as defined by the National Uniform Claims Committee, is the discipline of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of pain by the application of interventional techniques in managing subacute, chronic, persistent, and intractable pain, independently or in conjunction with other modalities of treatments.1 Intervention procedures for pain treatment are world widely performed and its number is growing exponentially.2 As in all invasive treatments, complications may arise.

Contrast agents used in interventional pain: Management, complications, and troubleshooting
Contrast agents (CAs) are one of the medications most used by interventional pain practitioners. They are used to confirm target, to distinguish different surrounding tissues, and to deliver adequate medication to specific areas of pathology. The high tolerance of modern CAs has been achieved through successive developments in chemical pharmacologic technology. Different CAs vary greatly in their chemical properties and toxic effects. Adverse reactions can occur while administering these substances and can be classified into acute and delayed. (Source: Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management)

Optimizing needle tip visualization during out-of-plane ultrasonography: A novel technique
Ultrasound-guided interventions are rapidly growing area in pain medicine. We developed a novel “underhand” technique aimed to improve upon the “freehand technique”. With the operator's hand stabilization, precise movements of the transducer are easier to perform that can improve visualization of the needle and targeted anatomical structures. Similar to the classical technique hydrolocalization can be used incrementally during the needle advancement to the target structure. Both the wrist up and the wrist down underhand approaches are described and provide the patient and physician comfort with superior needle visu...

The interdisciplinary management of cancer pain
For most patients, the most feared effect of cancer is the pain associated with the disease and its treatments. Poorly controlled pain in patients with cancer leads to suffering, poor nutrition, decreased compliance with treatment regimens, and increased mortality. Obviously, effective pain control is one of the pillars of effective global treatment of cancer in general. Historically, the treatment of pain in the cancer population was the responsibility of the medical oncologist, with escalating doses of opioids being the main form of therapy.

Interdisciplinary management of headache disorders
Chronic pain related to headache disorders causes significant burden of disease not only for the patients having these conditions, but also on society as a whole and often is associated with high utilization of health care systems. Despite advances in treatment, however, most patients with chronic headache continue to be undertreated or misdiagnosed. Appropriate evaluation using an in-depth history and physical examination, with imaging or laboratory studies as indicated by the findings of the examination, is paramount in selecting appropriate therapeutic options for treatment.

The interdisciplinary management of spinal disorders: A review of outcomes
In the United States, back pain has become a medical epidemic whose prevalence is increasing. The prevalence of neck and back pain is estimated to be 54%-80%. All types of neck pain have an estimated yearly prevalence of 12.1%-71.5%, and that of back pain is 15%-45%. Such a widespread prevalence, with lack of evidence-based recommendations for treatment, has fueled the development of novel pain treatments. Currently, the field of pain management has introduced the concept of interdisciplinary care in the biopsychosocial model. (Source: Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management)

The interdisciplinary management of pediatric pain: Time for more integration
Chronic pain in children is overwhelmingly prevalent and is recognized as a major health concern in this population. A biopsychosocial model has been essential for understanding and treating chronic pain in children for decades through interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary pain programs, with results showing a trend for favorable outcomes. However, despite this trend, there remains a subset of patients who continue to have pain issues and disability that prevents full recovery to an optimally functional life.

Introduction
The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.1 Our understanding of pain has migrated from a traditional biomedical reductionist model to the biopsychosocial approach, which strives to address the fact that pain and disability is a dynamic interaction between physiological, psychological, and social factors. Individuals who have pain pose a major dilemma for society, health care systems, and the economy. (Source: Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management)
