Listen "Backtable Brief: Spinal Cord Stimulators, Trials to Permanents with Dr. Blake Parsons"
Episode Synopsis
Interventional radiologists can play a vital role in pain management and palliative care through spinal cord stimulation (SCS). In this BackTable Brief, Dr. Dana Dunleavy speaks with Dr. Blake Parsons about this technology and the learning opportunities it presents.
Dr. Parsons reflects on his introduction to outpatient spinal cord stimulation during his training at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he gained exposure to both palliative care and interventional oncology. He discusses the technical aspects and challenges associated with permanent SCS procedures, including accessing the epidural space and the risks of nerve injury. Additionally, Dr. Parsons explores the economic considerations of SCS, comparing reimbursement rates for trials and permanent implants across various settings.
