About
Dr Agnes Stogicza is a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain physician with 20 years of experience in interventional pain management. She completed her pain fellowship at the University of Washington, where she served as faculty from 2010 to 2017. As a clinician-educator she treated pain patients and taught fluoroscopy and ultrasound guided minimally invasive interventional pain procedures, regional anesthesia techniques and medication management for complex chronic pain patients to pain fellows and residents.
Currently she works in chronic interventional pain and anesthesia at PSI PAIN CLINIC, in Budapest and teaches pain management at the University of Szeged.
Dr Stogicza is a member of the World Institute of Pain (WIP) Education Committee, Chair of the Hungarian Section of WIP and serves as an examiner for the FIPP (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice) and CIPS (Certified Interventional Pain Sonologist) Board Certification.
Dr Stogicza is a co-founder of Pain School International (https://painschoolinternational.com/) that provides interventional pain education in Budapest for doctors from all around the world and trained over 200 physicians.
Dr Stogicza regularly lectures and teaches interventional pain procedures in the USA, Europe, South America and Asia for the World Institute of Pain (WIP) and other societies.
Dr Stogicza has authored and coauthored numerous papers and book-chapters in chronic pain management. She is the lead author of the book titled Interventional Pain, A Step-by-Step Guide for the FIPP exam, that is used by fellow doctors in preparation for the FIPP exam.
Dr Stogicza’s main clinical interests are spinal pain and related conditions (headaches, whiplash associated disorder) and the application of regenerative medicine (such as PRP, stem cell and prolotherapy) for various spine and musculoskeletal conditions.
