Neuroimaging in Pain Disorders

Training Overview

Neuroimaging in Pain Disorders is a comprehensive, simulation-enhanced training program designed for pain medicine specialists, neurologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and related healthcare professionals seeking advanced expertise in the neuroimaging evaluation of acute and chronic pain conditions. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical modules with image-based simulations and multidisciplinary case discussions, focusing on accurate interpretation of neuroimaging findings and their clinical correlation in pain syndromes.

The program begins with core concepts of pain neurobiology, central and peripheral pain pathways, and imaging biomarkers associated with neuropathic pain, headache disorders, spinal pain, and functional pain syndromes. Participants review indications, strengths, and limitations of MRI, CT, functional MRI, diffusion imaging, and advanced neuroimaging techniques in pain assessment.

Hands-on imaging simulations allow participants to interpret real-case neuroimaging datasets under expert guidance. Attendees practice identifying structural, inflammatory, degenerative, and functional abnormalities, correlating imaging findings with clinical presentation, and supporting diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making in pain management.

Through interactive case discussions and multidisciplinary debriefings, participants analyze real-world pain cases involving complex diagnostic challenges. Structured performance feedback enhances imaging interpretation accuracy, clinical reasoning, and interdisciplinary communication.

By the end of the program, attendees will have developed advanced neuroimaging interpretation skills and increased confidence in integrating imaging data into comprehensive pain management strategies.
