Review Multicenter Study

Spinal cord stimulation for failed back surgery syndrome and other disorders.

Chronic pain is a complex condition that requires a multi-disciplinary approach to management. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has evolved into a relatively easily implemented, reversible technique with low morbidity for the management of chronic, intractable pain in selected patients. ⋯ Multicenter prospective studies were conducted and demonstrated that SCS. as a neuromodulation procedure, is indeed a superior method for treatment of chronic pain if the patients are selected with caution and a proper strategy. Future development of innovative electrodes and pulse generation systems will continue to improve this therapy.

AbstractChronic pain is a complex condition that requires a multi-disciplinary approach to management. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has evolved into a relatively easily implemented, reversible technique with low morbidity for the management of chronic, intractable pain in selected patients. Percutaneous placement of electrode arrays, under local anaesthesia. supported by programmable, implanted electronics has been a major technical advance. Multicenter prospective studies were conducted and demonstrated that SCS. as a neuromodulation procedure, is indeed a superior method for treatment of chronic pain if the patients are selected with caution and a proper strategy. Future development of innovative electrodes and pulse generation systems will continue to improve this therapy.
