Earn CME for reviewing a journal article and evidentiary table that analyzes the methodology and findings of a study that examined complications data from the FDA MAUDE database relative to DRG stimulation.
The paper, Retrospective Analysis of Complications Associated with Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation for Pain Relief in the FDA MAUDE Database by Sivanesan E., et al., was critically reviewed by SIS Research Division member Dr. Srinivas Chiravuri.
As busy physicians, Spine Intervention Society members struggle to keep up with the never-ending stream of new research findings that can impact their practice. Members need to be able to attend to research findings and understand how such data can assist their clinical practice. Members can benefit from being able to defend their treatment plans to insurance carriers and will better understand directions for future research pursuits.
On a quarterly basis, Research Division members identify and review three high impact papers that are of most interest to interventional spine care, summarizing and critically appraising the studies, and posting the summary, critique and reference information. This online activity will provide learners with the opportunity to obtain Journal-based CME credit for reading one of these articles, reviewing the associated evidentiary table, and completing a short assessment via SpineNet.
You will be awarded CME credit after reading the article, reviewing the evidentiary table, and completing the post-test.
