Ep. 17 Neuropathic Pain Algorithm

Dan and Juz cover the neuropathic pain algorithm, taking you through first through fourth line treatment options from most to least conservative. They cover trialing and combining various medications including opioids, topicals for focal areas of pain, and various interventional options all the way up to neuromodulation (peripheral or spinal cord stimulators), and pain pumps.

This episode helps a PCP or other physician have a guide to more efficiently work through treatments for neuropathic pain, and patients better understand their options so they can more effectively advocate for themselves.
