WORKSHOP 1: Master Precision in Fluoroscopy-Guided Pain Interventions

The Pre-Conference Hands-On Workshop is an intensive, small-group training program dedicated to mastering C-arm guided interventional pain procedures using real bone manikins.

This workshop is designed for pain physicians, anesthesiologists, and interventional specialists who want to strengthen their procedural accuracy, improve needle trajectory planning, and gain confidence in fluoroscopy-guided techniques.

Participants will practice interventions under live C-arm imaging guidance, focusing on anatomical orientation, optimal C-arm positioning, needle entry points, contrast flow patterns, and procedural safety.

---

🔁 Structured Rotational Format

Participants will be divided into:

• Group A
• Group B
• Group C

Each group will rotate among three procedure tables, spending 2 hours at each table.

Rotation Schedule:

• 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
• 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
• 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM — Lunch Break
• 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

This structured rotation ensures every participant receives focused, hands-on exposure to all major spinal and sympathetic interventional procedures.

WORKSHOP 2: Pain Biologics Workshop (9:00AM-14:00PM

Regeneration Therapy in Pain Medicine

Pain medicine is rapidly moving beyond symptom control toward biological restoration, tissue healing, and functional recovery. The Pain Biologics Workshop at ICRAPAIN 2026 is designed to give pain physicians a clear, practical, and evidence-based understanding of regenerative therapies used in musculoskeletal and interventional pain practice.

This workshop will focus on the science, preparation, clinical indications, procedural applications, and current evidence behind commonly used biologic therapies in pain medicine.
