Case-Based Learning & Practical Workshop 

Regenerative Therapies in Pain Management

(PRP, Neural Pain Therapy, Prolotherapy, Physiological Pain Portals)

 Workshop Objectives:

• Understand the principles and mechanisms of regenerative therapies for musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain

• Apply knowledge of PRP, neural pain therapy, prolotherapy, and physiological pain portals in clinical scenarios

• Develop skills in patient selection, treatment planning, and ultrasound-guided interventional techniques

• Enhance critical thinking through real-life case discussions and hands-on practice

 Core Topics:

1.     Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

• Mechanism: Growth factors for tissue repair and inflammation modulation

• Indications: Tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, ligament injuries

• Case focus: Chronic tennis elbow, knee OA

2.     Neural Pain Therapy

• Concept: Targeting nerve inflammation and dysfunction via neural modulation

• Techniques: Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, sodium channel blockers

• Case focus: Peripheral neuropathies, post-herpetic neuralgia

3.     Prolotherapy

• Mechanism: Inducing controlled inflammation to promote tissue strengthening and healing

• Indications: Ligament laxity, chronic joint instability

• Case focus: Chronic low back pain with facet joint laxity

4.     Physiological Pain Portals

• Concept: Identifying and blocking key nerve “pain gateways” with precision

• Techniques: Micro-targeted sodium channel block injections

• Case focus: Complex regional pain syndrome, refractory neuropathic pain

 Learning Methodology:

• Case presentations: Realistic patient scenarios highlighting clinical decision-making

• Group discussions: Differential diagnosis, therapy selection, and expected outcomes

• Hands-on sessions: Ultrasound-guided injection techniques, needle handling, safety protocols

• Q&A and problem-solving: Addressing challenges and optimizing treatment efficacy

Expected Outcomes:

• Enhanced clinical confidence in utilizing regenerative therapies

• Improved patient outcomes through personalized and evidence-based interventions

• Practical skills in safe, effective, and targeted pain management techniques
