Main Conference Program

Preconference I: Orofacial Pain and TMD: A Foundation for Diagnosis and Management

Pre-Conference II: How Strong is The Evidence you Use in Clinical Practice?

Pre-Conference III: Complementary and Alternative Approaches in Orofacial Pain and Sleep Management

Pre-Conference IV: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Injections in Orofacial Pain and Headache

Details:

Beyond the diagnostic dilemmas we face when introduced to a patient with persistent orofacial pain, we then have the difficult task of choosing therapeutic directions of care that are most likely to ease suffering and promote tissue healing. From this perspective, injection protocol are amongst the tools that have proven to be beneficial in assisting diagnosis and addressing tissue injury/sensitization in somatic and neural structures.
As the pain disorders that are encountered by orofacial pain practitioners can be broadly divided into musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain disorders, our challenges often lie in addressing persistent pain in muscles, tendons, the temporomandibular joints and painful conditions directly involving the trigeminal nerve in it’s peripheral distribution. In addition, the neurovascular pain disorders inclusive of migraines, must also be kept in mind when a working diagnosis is being established and treatment is being planned.
This full day program therefore will be designed to discuss and demonstrate the use of both diagnostic and therapeutic injections. The anatomy and neuroanatomy of the orofacial region will be reviewed along with the indications that prompt the use of these injections, specific injection technique protocol, injection frequency recommendations and after care. Supportive literature will be presented where available and demonstration videos will precede live patient interaction.
Injection techniques that will be discussed include:
Dry Needling
Auriculotherapy
Trigger point injections
Prolo therapy (dextrose and lidocaine) for inflammatory disorders
Steroid injections: Intra- articular/ joint capsule, and tendon/ligament attachments
Botox: Migraine protocol, neuropathic pain, muscle disorders, oromandibular dystonia
Auriculotemporal nerve blocks
Occipital nerve blocks,
Infraorbital nerve blocks,
Sphenopalatine ganglion nerve blocks
