Neuropathic Pain - What do you do in 2018?
Chair: Catherine Curtin, MD
Instructors: Ida K. Fox, MD; Laura Martini, MD; Saba Kamal, OT
The patient who presents with neuropathic pain can cause much anxiety to their clinician. These patients are unhappy and the appropriate course forward can seem unclear. This one-hour course will provide the attendee an up to date guide to treatment of the patient with neuropathic pain. The diverse panel will approach this topic through presentation of various clinical cases. The discussion will focus on treatments including medications, surgery, therapy and newer technology

Failed Nerve Decompressions - What is Next?
Chair: Scott F. Duncan, MD, MPH, MBA
Instructors: Steven McCabe, MD; John D. Lubahn, MD; Pierluigi Tos, MD; Gayle K. Severance, MS, OTR/L, CHT
This course will review the reasons behind failed nerve decompressions. We will discuss why a "failure" is not always a failure, and how setting patient expectations is crucial. The role of EMG/NCV studies, blood work, MRI, and ultrasound will be discussed in working up these patients for medical and surgical treatments. The operative and non-operative options for various clinical scenarios will be examined, with the understanding that not all "failure" can be surgically rectified. Nonetheless, some bailout options will be reviewed and a few clinical cases presented to connect the attendee with real world situations that can help them in their practice.

Joint Presidential Keynote Lecture: Towards Accelerated Biomedical Innovation Jeff Karp B.Eng. PhD Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, MA
Scientists have something in common with professionals in business, government and beyond. We all need to solve problems, but we're tempted to get comfortable with a limited "toolbox" of techniques and approaches. No matter our field, it can be difficult to break out of our old limitations and achieve something new and different. In this talk, Prof. Karp reveals two of the most powerful "tools" used by his bio-research lab to solve problems in innovative ways, on a continuing basis. The first tool is bioinspiration - the art and discipline of adapting proven-effective techniques, materials, designs and concepts from nature to provide the foundation for a bold new human-designed solution. For example, creatures like slugs and snails have provided inspiration for a next generation surgical adhesive. The second tool is radical simplicity -- the art and discipline of reducing a problem to its essence. Dr. Karp has harnessed this tool to develop prophylaxis technologies for contact dermatitis that were rapidly advanced to the market and are being used in multiple countries and therapeutic strategies to combat inflammatory bowel disease that are advancing to clinical studies. Jeff explains how his team has employed these tools and how they can succeed in any field. This talk opens exciting new paths to the continual innovation that is so important in today's fast-changing world.

Peripheral Nerves - Science and Surgery Without Boundaries- A Practical Approach in Restoring Sensation, Function, and Treating Pain Throughout the Human Body
Peripheral nerve surgery, similar to microsurgery, has no anatomical boundaries, and has within its capacity, to treat a wide variety of life changing clinical scenarios including restoration of function, sensation, and the treatment of debilitating pain scenarios. This course is dedicated to all practitioners including microsurgeons, hand surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and basic scientists at different level of expertise, that wish to expand their knowledge in peripheral nerves and apply these principles in their patient population.
