Hello and welcome to the World of Pain MD podcast, where we discuss all things pain with the experts.

I am Dr Derick Davis, a physician specializing in pain management.

In this episode, we speak about intrathecal pump therapy with Dr Arti Ori

Dr Ori firstly, has an awesome name and secondly, is a dual board-certified Pain Management Physician and Anesthesiologist with experience in advanced interventional therapies including neuromodulation and targeted drug delivery. She is from South Africa, where she attended medical school at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and also has spent time in the UK, where she trained in Emergency Medicine. She did a surgical intern year at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where she also did her anesthesiology training. She is no doubt well qualified to be an expert in intrathecal pump therapy and management, which is truly one of her passions.

In this episode, we’ll dive into how this therapy works, its indications, and the various types of medications that can be delivered through these pumps, providing both immediate relief and long-term management for multiple conditions. Dr. Ori will also discuss her experiences with the procedure, what makes it so impactful, and how it fits into the broader landscape of pain management treatments. Whether you’re a provider, patient, or just someone curious about innovative treatments, this episode is packed with valuable insights

As always, thanks so much for watching or listening. I hope you enjoy this episode and learn something.

All Things Pain With The Experts

Hello and welcome to the World of Pain MD podcast where we discuss all things pain with the experts.

I am Dr Derick Davis, a physician specializing in pain management.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jason Yong about Spinal Cord Stimulation (otherwise known as neuromodulation).

Dr. Yong is the Chief of Pain Medicine and Medical Director of the Pain Management Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He earned his MD and MBA from Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University and completed his residency in anesthesiology at the Brigham. Dr. Yong served as Chief Resident and received multiple awards including FAER Practice Management Scholar. Following his fellowship in Pain Medicine at the Brigham, he served as faculty at Johns Hopkins Hospital as an Assistant Professor in Anesthesiology and Critical Care. While at Harvard and Johns Hopkins, he has published on opioid management, regenerative medicine, cancer pain, neuromodulation, and practice efficiency. But I guess most importantly, I think Dr. Yong is essentially the James Bond of pain medicine. He takes his neuromodulation, shaken, not stirred. He’s just that cool.

Neuromodulation is an innovative supplemental modality for patients who have not found relief through conventional treatments. One of the well-established forms of neuromodulation is spinal cord stimulation, a therapy that uses electrical pulses to essentially block pain signals before they reach the brain. By targeting the spinal cord, neuromodulation can provide relief for conditions such as post-laminectomy and complex regional pain syndromes as well as certain types of neuropathic pain. In this episode, we discuss some of the real-world applications and realities of spinal cord stimulation.

As always, thanks so much for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this episode and learn something.

In this episode, we speak about radiation safety with Leanne Miller

Mrs. Miller is the commercial lead for Burlington Medical’s attenuation material division. She works closely with the research and development team to produce new formulas and ways to improve radiation safety, protection, and comfort. She started out selling radiation protection equipment in the UK and soon moved to international sales, including managing all overseas operations. Her efforts as managing director in 2022 helped her garner the Queen’s Award for International Trade, which recognizes outstanding growth in international exports.

In our initial communications, Mrs. Miller pointed out a fact we all know well—radiation is an invisible presence. However, we are all still aware of the deleterious effects it can have on our health over long periods of exposure. It is important not to become complacent about radiation safety. I appreciate Ms. Miller’s time and expertise in this episode and for giving me a chance to discuss some topics related to radiation protection.

As always thanks so much for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this episode and learn something.
