About
Dr. Akhil Chattre is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of interventional pain management and robotic automation, with a primary focus on advancing precision in spinal procedures. His most notable contribution is the development and validation of an autonomous spinal robotic system for transforaminal lumbar epidural injections, as detailed in his landmark 2022 proof-of-concept study. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, demonstrated that a markerless, robotically controlled injection delivery system could significantly enhance accuracy in the lumbar spine compared to traditional freehand techniques. By establishing ideal injection trajectories and proving the feasibility of autonomous guidance, Dr. Chattre’s research addresses a critical need for reducing procedural variability and improving patient outcomes in interventional pain medicine. His innovative approach bridges the gap between robotics and clinical spine care, laying the groundwork for future studies that could transform how epidural steroid injections are performed. With a clear trajectory toward clinical translation, Dr. Chattre’s work represents a vital step toward safer, more reproducible, and less operator-dependent spinal interventions.
