Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

Dr. Alaa Abd-Elsayed joined the faculty of the Anesthesiology Department at the University of Wisconsin in 2014 to provide Chronic Pain Medicine Services as part of the Interventional Pain Program. He received his medical training at Assiut University Medical School in Egypt, completed a master's degree in Public Health, research fellowship at Cleveland Clinic, and residency in anesthesiology and pain management fellowship at University of Cincinnati. As part of the Interventional Pain Program, Dr. Abd-Elsayed evaluates patients at the Pain Clinic, and when an interventional pain treatment is appropriate, performs procedures at the Madison Surgery Center. Over the course of his career, he has received numerous research grants, published more than 70 peer-reviewed manuscripts and authored several editorials and book chapters. He has presented at more than 60 international and national conferences and has earned more than 15 awards at the state and national levels. In addition, he has served as a reviewer for more than 20 journals and as an editor to several journals. Dr. Trescot brings over 30 years of clinical and training experience to pain management. Dr. Trescot is the past chair of the Education Committee and a current examiner for the World Institute of Pain (WIP) that administers the Fellow in Pain Practice (FIPP) exam to clinicians worldwide. She is the past president of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP) and a former professor and director of pain fellowship programs at the University of Washington and the University of Florida. Dr. Trescot is also a member of the Health and Human Services (HHS) Pain Management Best Practices Interagency Task Force

"This book is mainly a description of peripheral nerve stimulation for different nerves in clinical practice of chronic pain.... [It] functions well for clinicians who practice peripheral nerve stimulations as it is very practically orientated.... Most of the illustrations are clearly labelled and appropriate, helping readers to understand the important anatomy, sonoanatomy, and lead placement of the peripheral nerve stimulation under fluoroscopy.... Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Comprehensive Guide is an easy-to-read, appropriately condensed, practical guide for those performing peripheral nerve stimulation in the clinical setting, particularly chronic pain physicians. This book is also suitable for learners in the field, especially with the added features of note-making and highlighting options for the electronic version. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for those who are interested in peripheral nerve stimulation in chronic pain in all capacities." --Vivian H. Y.
