Station 1 – Cervical
Station 2 – Thoracic, Intercostal, & Greater Trochanteric
Station 3 – Lumbar/Sacroiliac Joint
Station 4 – NIMBUS Demo
Objective
This half-day course will begin with a live didactic presentation covering the basic science and rationale for the NIMBUS Multitined Expandable Electrode, diagnostic work-up, relevant anatomy, and procedural applications.
Following the presentation, participants will rotate through a NIMBUS demo station and three cadaveric training stations: Cervical, Thoracic, Intercostal, Greater Trochanteric, and Lumbar/Sacroiliac Joint.
Registration
Stratus Medical invites you to register for this course at stratusmedical.com/rsvp.
Registration will be capped at 25 physicians, divided between the three stations. For any questions, contact Tami Moore, Director, Professional Education at tami@stratusmedical.com.

Background:
Radiofrequency neurotomy (RFN) can be an effective treatment for patients with chronic neck pain and cervicogenic headaches resistant to conservative care. However, the degree and duration of pain relief after RFN is dependent upon the thoroughness of target nerve coagulation.
Case Report:
This is a case of a 37-year-old patient with debilitating neck pain and headaches following a motor vehicle accident. Successful local anesthetic block of the third occipital nerve (TON) confirmed pain of C2-C3 facet joint origin. An initial RFN treatment of the TON, using standard 18G electrodes in bipolar mode, resulted in complete symptom amelioration for 8 months. Repeat RFN, using the same electrode configuration, was unsuccessful in alleviating the severe neck pain and headaches, and produced no demonstrable sensory loss in the distribution of the TON. RFN was then performed using the NIMBUS® electrosurgical RF multitined expandable electrode, which provides a larger zone of coagulation in volume than standard RFN electrodes even when used in bipolar configuration.
Conclusion:
The NIMBUS procedure resulted in successful coagulation of the TON with sensory loss in the TON distribution and reinstatement of palliative relief.
