Dr.Koura participated in the 2024 IASP Global Pain Conference and the secret meetings room for developing pain management techniques in Amsterdam.

Dr. Koura attended the 2024 IASP Global Pain Conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands, alongside a select group of interventional pain management physicians from around the world. This conference is a prominent international gathering to discuss the latest scientific and technological advancements in pain treatment.

During the conference, participants discussed the latest techniques and methods in interventional pain management, including modern approaches to pain relief without the need for complex surgeries for spinal and joint issues. The sessions focused on how to utilize advanced techniques to reduce surgical risks and improve patient quality of life through non-surgical treatments, including discussions on the newest device for injecting arthritis patients without needles, and a novel technique involving a nasal catheter for treating headaches without surgery.

Dr. Koura expressed his satisfaction with participating in this international event and his special invitation to the conference's secret meetings room, where the development of the latest non-surgical pain management techniques for spinal and joint issues was discussed. He praised the opportunity to interact with leading experts in pain management and learn about the latest technologies that can contribute to better patient care. He added that these seminars and discussions enhance collective knowledge and drive improvements in treatment practices, providing safer and more effective solutions.

Dr. Koura's participation in this conference underscores his ongoing commitment to research and development in pain management and his dedicated effort to stay abreast of the latest advancements in the field.

Are all cases treatable with non-surgical solutions?

Certainly not, some cases must be treated surgically, and the most appropriate technique for the patient is determined through a medical examination and the presence of imaging studies.
 

Can one attend without a reservation?

No, it is necessary to make a reservation through a phone call or social media messages.
 

Are there any risks associated with pain treatment?

There are no risks or side effects associated with non-surgical pain interventions.

How long is the required stay in Egypt for a non-surgical intervention? (for foreign patients)

The patient needs only 3 to 4 days before they can travel comfortably, and the hospital stay does not exceed 6 to 8 hours.

Can a condition be diagnosed without imaging or a medical examination?

A condition cannot be accurately assessed and a proper medical diagnosis made without a medical examination and recent imaging studies.
 

Can reservations and payments be made via Visa before attending?

Yes, there are several payment methods available through Visa or electronic wallets by making a reservation on our website.

Does obesity affect knee osteoarthritis?

Certainly, obesity is one of the causes of knee osteoarthritis.

Does radiofrequency cause nerve damage?

Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.

Are non-surgical interventions a definitive treatment for spinal and joint diseases?

Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.

Can a herniated disc reoccur after a medical procedure?

If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.

Is the entire disc removed?

The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
 

Can radiofrequency remove a herniated disc?

This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.

Can the success or failure of non-surgical intervention be judged by post-intervention radiographic imaging?

The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.

Does spinal stenosis cause sciatica?

Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.

Does sciatica return after thermal ablation?

Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.
