Research & Disclosures

“Pain Rounds” is a supplemental educational resource to be used in a fashion similar to a textbook. It is not intended to replace clinical training or to provide any kind of medical licensing or certification. 

Hypothesis

After completion of the entire video series, pain fellows will feel more equipped to pursue neuromodulation procedures regardless of institutional variability.

Research Methods

  • Needs-based assessment
  • Pre-test/post-tests

Disclosures

The project was funded from 2018-2020 as an unrestricted educational research grant at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine through Nevro Corporation. As is policy with unrestricted grants, the company provided the funding but had no control of content during this time. We promise unbiased videos that in no form promote any particular company.
