Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Spelling good news for patients suffering from back pain, the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre has established a department of pain medicine which includes a pain clinic, interventional pain management centre and indoor admissions for patients with acute and chronic spinal pain. The department is headed by G.P. Dureja who was previously heading the pain management clinic at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

"The pain centre at the Indian Spinal Injury Centre not only treats the physical cause of pain but also simultaneously treats the emotional, cognitive, behavioural, vocational and social aspects of chronic spinal pain," said Dr. Dureja. The centre provides basic facilities such as trancutaneous nerve stimulation, spinal interventions which are done under X-ray imaging as well as advanced interventional modalities such as spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal pump implantation.
