Sympathetic Blocks & Neurolysis

Training Overview

Sympathetic Blocks & Neurolysis is a comprehensive, simulation-enhanced training program designed for pain medicine specialists, anesthesiologists, neurologists, and related healthcare professionals seeking advanced expertise in sympathetic block techniques and neurolytic procedures for acute and chronic pain management. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical modules with hands-on simulation and case-based discussions, emphasizing safe technique, anatomical precision, and clinical decision-making.

The program begins with foundational concepts of the sympathetic nervous system, pain transmission mechanisms, and indications for sympathetic blocks and neurolysis in cancer-related pain, complex regional pain syndrome, ischemic pain, and visceral pain syndromes. Participants review patient selection criteria, imaging guidance principles, pharmacologic agents, and risk–benefit assessment.

Hands-on simulation sessions allow participants to practice stellate ganglion, lumbar sympathetic, celiac plexus, and other sympathetic block techniques using high-fidelity models and image-guided scenarios. Under expert supervision, attendees refine needle placement strategies, dosing decisions, complication avoidance, and post-procedure assessment.

Through interactive case discussions and multidisciplinary debriefings, participants analyze real-world pain cases requiring advanced interventional strategies. Structured performance feedback enhances procedural confidence, technical accuracy, and patient safety awareness.

By the end of the program, attendees will have developed advanced procedural skills and the clinical confidence to integrate sympathetic blocks and neurolysis into comprehensive pain management plans.
