AbstractAttempts were made to treat 50 patients suffering from various types of chronic pain with SCS (PISCES). In 33 patients the test stimulation was successful so that an implantation of the system was carried out. After a minimum observation period of two years, only six patients still reported satisfactory alleviation of pain. A more careful selection of patients suffering from different types of pain would appear to be the pre-requisite for better results.
