EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

As a result of this educational activity, delegates will be able to:

• Apply new scientific data and clinical guidelines to improve patient selection and treatment outcomes for neuromodulation.
• Identify potential benefits, limitations, and complications of neuromodulation therapies.
• Interpret study results based on trial design and apply lessons learned for application in the design of future trials.
• Analyze psychological/psychiatric factors affecting outcomes in the treatment of chronic pain, movement disorders, cognitive and other disorders.
• Describe the bioengineering challenges and solutions at the neural interface, fundamentals, and mechanisms of action of neuromodulation.
• Discuss and analyze the anatomy and physiology of the central CNS, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems to assist in patient selection, target selection, and likelihood of therapeutic success.
• Discuss the uses of devices for functional electrical stimulation including rehabilitation of motor loss, loss of sensory function, and loss of cognitive function.
• Describe emerging neuromodulation therapies, new paradigms of therapy target selection, and associated research in the medical field of neuromodulation.
• Distinguish mechanisms of disease states, such as complex regional pain syndrome, refractory angina, and visceral pain syndromes, and explain the current position of neuromodulation in these conditions.
• Explain the many variations available for electrical stimulation and how to select the appropriate technology.
• Describe the increasing application of neuromodulation for chronic heart disease, as well as genitourinary and gastrointestinal disorders.
• Explain the scientific merit and best practices for the use of intrathecal drug infusions including patient selection, drug selection, and complication management.
• Critically appraise research methodology in neuromodulation and recognize the importance of evolving treatment guidelines and registries.
• Apply the increasing knowledge base for neuromodulation in a wide variety of chronic illness management.
• Explain how cancer pain management has evolved into managing the pain of cancer survivors and recognize the growing need for neuromodulation solutions.
