Center for Pain Medicine Services

The Center for Pain Medicine offers a variety of interventions and therapies for the myriad of conditions that can cause pain. These range from simple outpatient procedures, such as trigger point injections and epidural steroid injections, to fluoroscopically guided procedures, such as facet joint injections, lumbar sympathetic blocks, spinal and peripheral stimulators, intrathecal medication delivery system, and nerve blocks.

The following are procedures performed at the Center for Pain Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Each patient’s case presents a unique challenge, and occasionally multiple interventions or combinations may be appropriate. Through injections, pharmacologic management, physical therapy and other methods, we are equipped to treat nearly every condition that may cause pain.

Patients who are unable to obtain satisfactory relief with the currently accepted regimens might be candidates for clinical trials that employ newer agents.

Our Philosophy

The Center’s philosophy is based on a unified approach to the evaluation and management of pain, focusing on comprehensive, interdisciplinary care of the whole patient, with consideration not only to physical functioning, but also to lifestyle and emotional health.

The Center strives to provide the highest quality, safest and most compassionate care to every patient, conducting research that will lead to better and safer treatments, and training the next generation of leaders in our field.
