Join us as we sit down with Amy Baxter, a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine, to explore the future of pain management. We'll dive into the challenges and advancements in non-opioid alternatives, focusing on the impact of the NOPAIN Act set to transform reimbursement policies in January 2025. Amy will share insights on the importance of multimodal pain management, ERAS studies' biases, and mechanical stimulation discoveries. We'll also discuss how opioid settlement funds are being used to educate medical staff on innovative pain management strategies.
Amy Baxter is a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine at Augusta University, federally funded for neuromodulation research to reduce needle pain, multimodal low back pain, and opioid reduction.
