Dr Kavita Poply is a highly accomplished and respected professional in the field of Pain Medicine and Neuromodulation. She currently serves as a Consultant in Pain Medicine and Neuromodulation at Barts Health NHS Trust and as a Reader (Associate Professor) at Queen Mary University of London. She has dedicated her career to advancing medical education and research in neuromodulation and pain management, while consistently providing exceptional care to her patients.
She has been awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Faculty of Pain Medicine (FRCA, FPM RCA), London. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Queen Mary University of London for her novel research titled “Dynamic Brain Imaging (PET) Response to SCS Differential Frequencies: A Double-Blind RCT”. Her work has significantly contributed to understanding the effects of spinal cord stimulation treatment algorithms at the brain level and to exploring objective outcome biomarkers.
Her expertise encompasses a wide range of painful conditions, including headaches (migraine, cluster headache, and facial pain), trigeminal neuralgia, back pain, sciatica, neck pain, brachialgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, shingles and pleuritic pain, joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle), musculoskeletal pain, chronic abdominal pain, chronic pelvic pain, chronic groin pain (post-surgical/neuropathic), chronic anal pain, vulvodynia, cancer pain and bruxism etc
Dr Poply routinely performs a variety of pain procedures, including medial branch blocks, dorsal root blocks, epidurals, radiofrequency (RF) treatments, trigger point injections, peripheral nerve blocks, genicular nerve blocks and RF for knee pain, intercostal nerve blocks and RF for shingles and chronic pleuritis, stellate ganglion, splanchnic nerve, coeliac plexus, and ganglion impar blocks. She also provides Botox injections for chronic migraine, bruxism, and musculoskeletal pain, as well as intravenous lignocaine infusions for fibromyalgia. In addition, she offers the latest advanced anti-CGRP therapies for headache management.
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 patient well-being is reflected in the excellent feedback she consistently receives from her patients. In addition to her clinical work, Dr Kavita Poply leads and contributes to several research projects, including NIHR-funded trials, and actively engages with the wider medical community through leadership and educational roles. She serves as Programme Lead for the “PGCert in Neuromodulation and Pain Management” at Queen Mary University of London and as Co-Director of the Executive Education Programme in Neuromodulation (EEPIN) at City, University of London. She successfully runs these programmes in collaboration with an international faculty.
Dr Poply’s dedication to medical education extends beyond geographical boundaries through her involvement in education committees, examinership roles, and editorial contributions to pain journals.
