Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pain Medicine
  • Simulation Training

Background:

  • Interventional pain medicine requires precise needle driving skills.
  • Assessing and improving trainee competency in these procedures is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if combined lecture and simulation training improves resident competency and comfort with needle driving.
  • To quantify improvements in needle driving accuracy and speed.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective observational study involving pain medicine trainees.
  • Participants received a lecture, completed a comfort survey, underwent a timed needle driving simulation trial, received 30-minute simulation practice, and repeated the trial and survey.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in trainee comfort levels were observed post-simulation.
  • Needle driving accuracy improved, with significant reductions in vertical and horizontal deviation from the target.
  • Procedure times, including entrance and total time, were significantly decreased.

Conclusions:

  • Simulation training, combined with a lecture, effectively enhances both subjective comfort and objective competency in needle driving.
  • This training modality appears to be a valuable tool for developing essential skills in interventional pain medicine.
  • Simulation offers a practical method to improve trainee performance and patient safety in pain procedures.
