Pain Management Procedures

[PreMedAdAG]

Hi all, I'm a research coordinator and I want to go watch some procedures in our clinic.. but alas, I'm still a pre-med (applying right now) and I don't know all the names for the procedures. I got a list of procedures off the schedule and was wondering if someone can define these for me so I can decide which ones I want to watch.

Thanks,
Christine
