Pain Medicine board review, built like the exam.
The ABA Pain Medicine exam is 200 single-best-answer questions with three options, mostly short clinical vignettes. Practise exactly that: questions mapped to the ABA content outline, written and reviewed by a board-certified pain physician, each with the reasoning, why the other two options are wrong, and sources.

A free question from the Starter set. Pick A, B or C, then check.
A 64-year-old man with type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 7.4%, BMI 33) has 3 years of burning bilateral foot pain from painful diabetic neuropathy, rated 7/10. Adequate trials of gabapentin, duloxetine, and nortriptyline failed because of side effects or limited benefit. He has no foot ulcers and is psychologically suitable for an implanted device. Of these options, which is the most appropriate next step?

Questions
Who writes the questions?
Every question is written to the ABA Pain Medicine content outline and reviewed by a board-certified, fellowship-trained pain physician before it is published. Each one cites its sources.
Are these real exam questions?
No. All questions are original. Boards Academy is independent study material and is not affiliated with the American Board of Anesthesiology or any certifying board.
Why three options?
The ABA Pain Medicine exam uses single-best-answer items with three options (A, B, C), so the practice questions do too.
