Peer-Reviewed, Battle-Tested, Still Growing

The published research shaping how Dr. Moghim treats chronic pain, and how the field treats it too.

Where the Clinic Meets the Literature

Every technique Dr. Moghim brings into the exam room has a paper trail behind it. He’s co-authored ASPEN’s national consensus guidelines on peripheral nerve stimulation, published real-world outcomes data on dorsal root ganglion therapy, and contributed to the evidence base behind sacroiliac joint fusion. This page tracks that work as it happens, the latest studies, case reports, and guidelines coming directly out of his practice.
