Interventional pain management involves the use of percutaneous procedures to diagnose and treat chronic pain conditions. These interventions are typically performed under image guidance by specially trained physicians. The Interventional Pain Special Interest Group (SIG) was established in 2008 in response to the need for a collaborative forum dedicated to enhancing procedural training and clinical decision-making skills among Canadian trainees and faculty. 

Over the years, the Interventional Pain SIG has played a key role in organizing and supporting the annual Canadian Interventional Pain Course, as well as other educational symposia, to promote the safe, ethical, and evidence-based practice of interventional pain management.
