Pain management involves treating all types of pain through various modalities beyond just pharmacotherapy. Unrelieved pain can have negative physiological, psychological and cognitive effects. Chronic pain is difficult to treat due to central nervous system sensitization and modulation. Interventional pain management utilizes targeted nerve blocks, ablations, and advanced procedures like spinal cord stimulation to diagnose and treat various pain conditions and syndromes. The goal is to correct underlying pathologies and break pain cycles through non-pharmacological means.
Spinal cord stimulation in neuroparhic cancer painManish Raj
This document discusses spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for treating neuropathic cancer pain. It summarizes several studies and case reports that have found SCS to be an effective and safe treatment for neuropathic cancer pain when conventional medications fail. Specifically, SCS has provided satisfactory pain relief for patients with chemotherapy-induced or radiation-induced neuropathic pain. While the evidence is currently limited to case reports and case series due to the lack of randomized controlled trials, SCS shows potential as an alternative treatment for neuropathic cancer pain that is refractory to other options.
Spinal cord stimulation is an advanced pain therapy that involves implanting a device to provide ongoing pain relief. It is also known as neuromodulation. Dr. Paresh Doshi has over 12 years of experience performing spinal cord stimulation at Jaslok Hospital & Research Center in Mumbai, India to treat various pain indications.

BUYING, STORAGE, AND USAGE TIPS
• When buying herbs and spices by weight, buy only what will fit into an average-size spice jar. In other words, don’t stock up. Most go a very long way and are at their optimal flavor for up to a year, after which they begin losing their potency.
• Keep dried herbs and spices in a place in your kitchen that is away from heat and moisture.
• When substituting fresh herbs for dry, use about three times the amount of fresh herb as the dry.
• Introduce dried herbs and spices into your recipe as early in the cooking process as possible, so that they have a chance to develop flavor. Add fresh herbs toward the middle or even the end of the cooking if you’d like to retain their pronounced flavor.
