About Dr. Kavita Poply

She has been accredited with the Fellowship of Royal College of Anaesthetics and Faculty of Pain Medicine (FRCA, FPM RCA), London. She earned Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Queen Mary University of London for her novel and ground-breaking research on “Dynamic brain imaging (PET) response to SCS Differential Frequencies: A double blind RCT”, which has contributed significantly to understanding the effects of spinal cord stimulation treatment algorithms at the brain level in exploring objective outcome biomarkers.

​

Her area of expertise encompasses a wide range of painful conditions, including headaches (migraine, cluster headache and facial pains), trigeminal neuralgia, back pain, sciatica, neck pain, brachialgia, CRPS, fibromyalgia, shingles/pleuritic pain, shoulder, knee, hip and ankle joint pains, musculoskeletal pains, chronic abdominal, chronic pelvic pain, chronic groin pain (post-surgical/neuropathic), chronic anal pain, vulvodynia, cancer pain, bruxism and nonsurgical treatment for foot corns/callosities etc.Dr Poply is well-versed with the pain interventions and routinely performs various pain procedures, such as, Medial branch block, Dorsal root block, Epidurals, Radiofrequency (RF) treatments, Trigger point injections, Peripheral nerve blocks, Genicular nerve block and RF (knee pains), Intercostal nerve block and RF (shingle and chronic pleuritis), Stellate ganglion/Splanchnic nerves/Coeliac plexus/Ganglion of impar blocks, Botox infiltration (chronic migraine, bruxism and musculoskeletal pains) and Intravenous lignocaine infusions (Fibromyalgia). She offers the latest and advanced antiCGRP therapies to headache patients.Dr Poply is highly skilled in the advanced stimulation therapies (Spinal cord stimulator, Multifidus stimulator, Peripheral nerve stimulator) for the multiple refractory painful conditions, such as Back pain with or without Sciatica, Neck pain with or without brachialgia, CRPS, Diabetic neuropathy, Osteoarthritic knee/Hip Pain, Ankle pain and Groin pain as a conservative and minimally invasive surgical option. Her neuromodulation expertise extends into occipital nerve stimulation for chronic migraine and cluster headaches. Her clinical practice is entirely based on authentic evidence-based practices founded on research and education.

 

Her commitment to the patient's well-being is evident through the excellent feedback she receives. Apart from her clinical roles, Dr Kavita Poply is running various research projects including NIHR trial and actively contributes to the medical community through various leadership positions and educational roles. She serves as the Program Lead for the "PGcert in Neuromodulation and Pain Management program" at Queen Mary University, London and Co-director for the Executive Education Program In Neuromodulation (EEPIN), City university of London. She is successfully running these programs with international faculty collaboration across the globe.Dr Poply's dedication to medical education extends her role beyond the geographical boundaries in the Education Committees, Examinership and Pain journal's editorship.
