Presented by: Robert Bonakdar, MD, FACN, FAAFP

With increasing attention on identifying safe and effective nonpharmacological approaches to pain management there has been increasing interest on the potential role of electrical stimulation devices, also known as electroceuticals. Although not new to the pain management, there has been a substantial increase in products marketed for over-the-counter, prescription, and in-clinic treatment of pain and related disorders. This session will provide background on the use of electrical stimulation in pain management and provide evidence overview of currently available approved technologies.
