What is MIPSI? Chronic pain remains one of the most complex and resource-intensive challenges in contemporary clinical practice. Beyond its impact on physical function, persistent pain significantly affects psychological health, quality of life, occupational productivity, and healthcare utilization. While pharmacotherapy, rehabilitation, and surgical intervention remain important components of multidisciplinary pain management, a substantial group of patients fall into an int

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common causes of disability worldwide and remains a major challenge for clinicians. While conventional imaging often focuses on discs, facet joints, and neural compression, growing evidence suggests that dysfunction of the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) plays a critical role in persistent spinal pain and instability. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) has emerged as a valuable imaging modality for evaluating multifidus morpholo

Core Concept - Role of Glial Cells in Chronic Pain Chronic pain is no longer viewed as purely a neuronal phenomenon. Current neuroscience firmly establishes that glial cells — once dismissed as passive support cells — are active orchestrators of pain chronification, neuroinflammation, and central sensitisation. Understanding glial biology is essential to every modern clinician practising pain medicine. Introduction: Why Pain Medicine Needed a New Paradigm For decades, pain wa

Chronic pain has traditionally been classified into two major categories: nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. While this framework has guided clinicians for decades, a significant number of patients continue to experience persistent pain that does not fit neatly into either category. These individuals often have widespread pain, fatigue, sensory hypersensitivity, sleep disturbances, and emotional distress despite minimal tissue injury or clear nerve damage. To address this

Buttock pain is a common yet diagnostically challenging complaint encountered in pain clinics, spine practices, and rehabilitation settings. While sacroiliac joint dysfunction, lumbar radiculopathy, piriformis syndrome, and facetogenic pain are frequently considered, cluneal nerve entrapment remains an under-recognized cause of chronic buttock and low back pain. Failure to identify cluneal neuralgia can lead to prolonged suffering, unnecessary imaging, failed spine interventi

Compiled from Peer-Reviewed Medical Literature by Asian Pain Academy Abstract Hyoid Bone Syndrome (HBS) is a poorly recognized but clinically significant cause of chronic anterolateral neck pain, throat discomfort, and referred orofacial pain. First described by Brown in 1954, the syndrome arises from degenerative and inflammatory changes at the greater cornu of the hyoid bone, particularly at the insertion of the stylohyoid ligament and the middle pharyngeal constrictor mu

Ultrasound Guided Lumbar Spine Interventions - By Dr Debjyoti Dutta The lumbar spine is the most frequently treated region in pain practice. A clear understanding of anatomy, sonoanatomy, procedural feasibility, and limitations is essential before performing any intervention. With increasing interest in ultrasound-guided techniques, clinicians must understand where ultrasound guided lumbar spine interventions offer advantages and where fluoroscopy remains superior. This arti

Low back pain remains one of the most common reasons for physician visits worldwide and represents a major socioeconomic burden. With the rapid expansion of interventional pain techniques, clinicians are increasingly confronted with procedures promoted through social media, marketing platforms, and industry-driven narratives. This makes it essential for pain physicians to critically evaluate evidence based interventions in back pain before incorporating them into routine cli
