Epidural Analgesia FAQs
You can take pain medicine through a small soft tube placed in the epidural space in your back. That space is close to the nerves that sense pain, especially pain in your chest, abdomen, back, and legs. Because the pain medicine is given so close to pain-sensing nerves, a small dose of the medicine usually gives very good pain relief. Learn more.
Fellowships
As part of our commitment to education, the Emory Pain Center faculty and educators train multidisciplinary pain fellows wishing to get board certified in Pain Management. The Department of Anesthesiology Multidisciplinary Pain Fellowship Program at Emory is a 12-month program which admits five fellows per year. Learn more.
