Activity Provided by the North American Neuromodulation Society

Release date: May 26, 2026

Expiration date: May 26, 2029

Chronic pelvic pain remains one of the most complex and frustrating conditions encountered in pain and spine practice. Overlapping neuropathic, myofascial, and visceral mechanisms often blur diagnostic clarity and challenge conventional treatment algorithms. 

This enduring webinar, hosted by the NANS Women in Neuromodulation Committee, will provide a practical, evidence-based framework for evaluating and managing pelvic pain — from accurate phenotyping to interventional and neuromodulation strategies. Through case-based discussion and clinical pearls, participants will gain actionable tools to improve patient selection, procedural planning, and multidisciplinary coordination. 

Ideal for pain physicians, neurosurgeons, and advanced practice providers managing refractory pelvic pain. 

When Pelvic Pain Doesn’t Fit the Algorithm

Pelvic pain patients often cycle through medications, procedures, and referrals without sustained relief. For neuromodulators and interventional pain specialists, distinguishing between peripheral nerve pathology, central sensitization, and myofascial drivers is critical for procedural success.

This webinar will help you:

  • Refine diagnostic clarity before escalating interventions
  • Identify which patients may benefit from neuromodulation or targeted peripheral approaches
  • Integrate pelvic floor therapy and behavioral health into multimodal plans
  • Improve outcomes in complex, refractory pelvic pain cases

If you manage sacral neuromodulation, DRG, peripheral nerve stimulation, or spine interventions, this session will sharpen your clinical decision-making.
