"The Full Spectrum of Pain Care"

Program Co-Chair
On behalf of the ASRA Pain Medicine 2025 Fall Meeting Program Committee, we are excited to welcome you to Austin, Texas!
The luxurious JW Marriott in the heart of downtown Austin (Voted #1 Reader’s Choice Award in Texas by Condé Nast Traveler) offers an intimate meeting space with plenty of opportunities to engage with esteemed faculty, network with colleagues and industry, and learn from the best of the best. Enjoy having your meetings and reunions at the stylish central lobby bar, four onsite restaurants, rooftop pool and bar, or Starbucks coffee shop. After hours, enjoy the vibrant city that is known for its delicious barbeque and live music – all walking distance from the hotel.
The theme of the full spectrum of pain care reflects our two-fold commitment to recognizing the multi-disciplinary nature of pain medicine practice as well as breadth of pain conditions treated. To accomplish this, we have designed special tracks that cater to the interests of pain medicine educators and trainees, advanced practice providers, military personnel, and those who manage their practices.
Sessions will feature evidence-based yet practical takeaways for incorporating or fine-tuning artificial intelligence (AI), regenerative medicine, neuromodulation, cancer-related pain management, and minimally invasive spine therapies in your practice. A preview of some of our exciting presentations include:
- Navigating smoking cessation, euglycemic control, and high body mass index in patients receiving neuromodulation: evidence and practicalities
- Leveraging collected data and AI to improve clinic workflows, patient care, and beyond
- Ambulatory surgical centers - nuts and bolts, to buy-in or not, investing yourself and your money
- Indications, considerations, and risks of chemical neurolysis for cancer pain
In addition to our plenary sessions, join us for interactive discussions with our 8 “Ask the Experts” panels, or cozy up with your favorite faculty at any of our 20 “Problem-Based Learning Discussion” luncheons. For hands-on experience, sign up for several of our 24 “workshops” featuring basivertebral nerve ablation, crisis management in pain medicine, and minimally invasive spine procedures.
