Welcome to the Blaustein Pain Treatment Center and Center for Neuromodulation at Johns Hopkins University!
The Johns Hopkins Blaustein Pain Treatment Center has a long and proud history of taking care of people with widely varied and complex pain conditions. Our mission is to deliver the highest quality of clinical care to our patients, to guide the future development of our discipline, to train the next generation of leaders in Pain Medicine, and to facilitate ground-breaking discoveries in clinical, translational, and basic research.
Clinical / Patient Care
Our program in clinical interventional pain medicine has represented the ideal of the specialty for decades. At the Blaustein Pain Treatment Center, our faculty rely on a collaborative approach involving our patients, their physicians and other specialists including neurosurgeons, psychologists, and neurologists to implement effective short and long term pain treatment plans. Our faculty's expert skills in minimally invasive pain relief techniques enables patients to rely less on medication and experience an improved function and quality of life. Many of the advancements in interventional pain medicine that are used by leaders in clinical pain medicine were developed and perfected at the Johns Hopkins Blaustein Pain Treatment Center.
Our faculty are committed to achieving excellence in clinical care and education, and they hold deep academic values. We continue to draw the brightest and most talented fellows and attract and retain the top faculty to our clinic. Our long-term goal in education is to train residents and fellows to become future leaders in academic and clinical pain medicine programs worldwide. We have an exceptional record in producing prominent pain phsyicians who have gone on to direct prestigious academic programs. Although our over-arching goal is to produce academic pain physicians, we have also produced many leaders in the private practice pain medicine community. Our Pain Medicine Fellowship graduates have gone on to establish excellent private practice pain programs in the Baltimore Community and across the United States.
Our faculty conduct cutting-edge clinical (patient care) and laboratory science research in the fields of Acute & Chronic Pain Medicine.
