SCS Headaches
I would love to do PNS for occipital neuralgia however insurances currently do not cover for the most part. I know there’s a clinic doing them and have four leads placed (2 greater occipital nerve and 2 supraorbital). I’m not sure how they get reimbursed for this.
I’m considering placing leads in posterior occipital region and billing SCS for C2 radiculopathy.
Thoughts? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Suggestions for headache resources for non-neurologists
So as a psychiatrist I find the treatment of headache kind of fascinating. Based on the medications y'all use and how you use them it seems like bizarro world psychiatry in many respects. So many familiar names, but doing strange things. Also, migraines and chronic headaches of all sorts are super common among my patients, and, like sleep, doing something about someone's migraine is a way to get buy-in for people who otherwise don't necessarily agree that they should be seeing you when the...

Dural puncture during SCS implant
Had my first SCS implant dural puncture during an implant today. Usual LOR with air, followed by placing the lead and noticing minimal resistance to advancement and then clear fluid coming out of the touhy. I accessed one level below and proceeded without any issue. My question is anyone have any tricks/tips for managing post dural puncture headaches in the post-SCS implant crowd? I see PDPH from IR or neurology and will offer blood patches but I am not excited to do that with a new stim. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Navy Operational Medicine with Motion Sickness?
I joined the Navy wanting to do Flight Surgery. However, the last couple of years my motion sickness when flying has really worsened and if I don't take dramamine before hand I am wrecked with headaches/nausea/vomiting for days after. Even when I take it's not like I'm great and it does make me quite groggy.
At this point, I'm thinking UMO would be the move for me but wanted to get a gauge the amount of flying time during FS training and if it seems unreasonable to plan on doing FS and...

TMS financial questions
I'm a psychiatry-matched MS4 currently on a pain clinic elective. I am giving a presentation about some RCTs of TMS for chronic pain conditions and would like to include some basics about reimbursements for TMS in general. I'm aware that it's not currently billable for pain (except migraines), but the goal is to provide some background about the reimbursement landscape for approved conditions.
I've scoured some old threads and found the following info thus far:

medical director comp reduction
I'm facing a reduction in hourly compensation for medical director time. I was at $200/hour for several years, but hospital says market rate is actually $135 so sent new contract with lower rate. I'm at the point where I don't feel it's worth continuing for this amount, and I'd rather give up the headache, have my off time and evenings free from the calls to manage various issues that arise. However, I was curious if people could weigh in on their administrative time rates, hoping to get a...

Botox for migraines, is it in FM scope if certified some how?
So obviously FM docs can get certified in botox use and do fillers and aesthetic procedures.
This I know.
Can FM doctors also use that certification to use botox in migraine treatment like neurologists and pain docs do? Is there an additional way to get certified in this or is it totally out of scope? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

2024 ERAS Change: limit of 10 experiences
For 2024 residency applicants will only be able to list 10 experiences and select 3 most meaningful. What do people think about this change? In general I think it's a good change so that people aren't padding CVs with things like single day volunteer experiences, but there's the added headache of having to carefully select which experiences to ultimately include.
