Abstract

Purpose of Review

Chronic pain is a highly prevalent condition affecting millions of individuals.

Recent Findings

In recent years, newer treatments have emerged that are changing the way clinicians treat pain pathogenesis, including novel nonopioid strategies. In this regard, spinal cord stimulation, the MILD procedure, and regenerative medicine have shown promise. This review summarizes recent literature on these three emerging treatment strategies.
