By Dr Debjyoti Dutta, Asian Pain Academy Chronic knee pain is one of the most common problems encountered in a pain clinic. Although osteoarthritis is often the underlying pathology, the pain experienced by the patient is not simply a reflection of the radiographic severity of osteoarthritis. In selected patients, targeting the sensory innervation of the knee with radiofrequency treatment can provide meaningful pain relief and improve function. In this article, I will discus

Ganglion cysts are common benign soft-tissue swellings that frequently occur around the wrist and hand. Although many ganglion cysts are asymptomatic and may resolve spontaneously, some patients develop pain, tenderness, restricted movement, or discomfort during daily activities. In selected patients, aspiration may provide symptomatic relief and reduce the size of the cyst. Ultrasound-Guided Aspiration of a Painful Ganglion Cyst is an important procedure in musculoskeletal a

Trigger finger is a common painful condition affecting the fingers and thumb, often causing catching, clicking, or locking during movement. It is associated with pathology of the A1 pulley, which surrounds the flexor tendon at the level of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. In this educational article, Asian Pain Academy presents the clinical approach to ultrasound-guided injection for Trigger Finger, including the anatomy of the A1 pulley, conservative management, corticos

What Is Flexor Hallucis Longus Tenosynovitis? Flexor Hallucis Longus Tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition involving the tendon sheath of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon. It can present with pain around the posteromedial ankle and may be associated with repetitive loading, overuse, sports activities, trauma, or other ankle and foot pathology. Because several important tendons, nerves and vessels pass through the medial ankle, accurately identifying the pain-gener

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

Chronic spinal pain is one of the most prevalent, disabling, and economically burdensome conditions worldwide. At ISSPCON 2026, Dr. Debjyoti Dutta presented a comprehensive and structured lecture on the Evidence-Based Algorithmic Approach to Chronic Spinal Pain , emphasizing that spine care must transition from symptom-driven and image-driven practice to diagnosis-driven, reproducible clinical algorithms. The Evidence-Based Algorithmic Approach to Chronic Spinal Pain offers
