Background: Since 1992, when the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) acknowledged pain medicine as a subspecialty, the field has experienced significant growth in its number of programs, diversity of sponsoring specialties, treatment algorithms, and popularity among applicants. These shifts prompted changes to the educational model, overseen by program directors (PDs) and the ACGME. The pool of pain fellowship applicants also changed during that period.

Following that, there has been a rise in the transition of pain medicine education toward a multidisciplinary interventional model based on a tremendous surge of contemporaneous literature in these areas. This trend has created variability in clinical experience and education amongst accredited pain medicine programs with minimal literature evaluating the differences and commonalities in education and experience of different pain medicine fellowships through Program Director (PD) experiences.

- * This scoping review analyzes current research on newer SCS waveforms to understand their mechanisms of action and clinical outcomes, which will aid in personalized patient care.
- * While neuromodulation shows promise for chronic pain management, further long-term studies are necessary to compare different waveforms and explore combination therapies.
Purpose: To quantify perfusion changes during genicular artery embolization (GAE) with the qualitatively described "pruning" technique using parametric analysis.
Materials And Methods: A total of 12 patients underwent unilateral GAE with a total of 36 vessels embolized. Among 34 of the 36 vessels embolized, regions of interest (ROIs) were placed on parent vessels (PVs) and hyperemic target vessels (TVs) before and after GAE.
