Effective and Evolving Treatments for Shoulder Pain in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury

Learning Objectives: After participating in this continuing professional development activity, the provider should be better able to: 1. Describe the challenges in managing shoulder pain in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) in clinical practice. 2. Explain current and evolving treatments for managing shoulder pain in patients with SCI. 3. Discuss the types of regenerative medicine techniques being studied to help patients with SCI. 4. Identify available resources for patients with SCI who have shoulder pain.
