The Other Side of the COVID-19 Curve: A Model for the Safe Reintegration of Elective Interventional Pain Procedures.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians have had to think quickly, adapt to changing recommendations sometimes on a daily basis, and have often had to rely on trial-and-error-based treatment protocols under various conditions. As we move on past the apex of the COVID-19 curve, new treatment protocols for the safe reintegration of elective interventional pain procedures into chronic pain practice are needed. METHODS:Literature review and description of a model for the safe reintegration of interventional pain procedures. LIMITATIONS:A narrative review with paucity of literature. DISCUSSION:Herein we describe one such model in the hopes that through similar knowledge sharing, we can draw on others experiences to reach a collective conclusion on the safest, most effective, and efficient way(s) to move forward.
