The other side of the covid-19 curve: A model for the safe reintegration of elective interventional pain procedures

ABSTRACT

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. 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.
