ObjectivePeripheral nerve stimulation provides targeted stimulation and pain relief within a specific nerve distribution. This technical case report provides a method to perform selective nerve root stimulation of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves using ultrasonography.MethodsUltrasound-guided peripheral nerve stimulation of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves allows better visualization of soft tissue anatomy and planning of needle trajectory.ConclusionsUltrasound-guided peripheral nerve stimulation procedures may provide a safer method for neurostimulation lead placement when compared with fluoroscopic-guided techniques.© The Author(s) 2020.
