Electrode geometry and preferential stimulation of spinal nerve fibers having different orientations: a modeling study [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
In a computer modeling study of epidural spinal cord stimulation using a longitudinal array of electrode contacts, the effect of contact geometry and contact combination on the threshold voltages for stimulation of dorsal column (DC) fibers and dorsal ...

Electrical safety in spinal cord stimulation: current density analysis by computer modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The possibility of tissue damage in spinal cord stimulation was investigated in a computer modeling study. A decrease of the electrode area in monopolar stimulation resulted in an increase of the current density at the electrode surface.

Spinal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Mimicking Epidural Hematoma

open access: yesJournal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2022
A patient, recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, presented with acute tetraplegia after surgical cervical lymph node biopsy. MRI of the cervical spine demonstrated an epidural space-occupying lesion with compressive myelopathy.

Effects of electrode configuration and geometry on fiber preference in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
In contrast to the widespread assumption that dorsal column fibers are the primary targets of spinal cord stimulation by a dorsal epidural electrode, it appears that dorsal root fibers are recruited as well, and even preferentially under various ...

Acoustic puncture assist device: A novel technique to identify the epidural space

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
Background: Acoustic puncture assist device (APAD) is designed to detect aand signal the loss of resistance during the epidural procedure. We aimed to evaluate this device in terms of successful identification of the epidural space and the incidence of ...

Supraneural transforaminal epidural injection in the treatment of radiculopathy in the lumbar spine – a brief descriptive overview and technique of manipulation

open access: yesВестник анестезиологии и реаниматологии, 2023
Fluoroscopy guided epidural injection is often used to treat radicular pain in the lumbar spine. Risk and effectiveness data vary depending on injection routes and underlying pathology.

Case Report: Pneumocephalus after labor epidural anesthesia [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3va]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
Lumbar epidural anesthesia is commonly used for labor analgesia. The 'loss-of- resistance' to air technique (LORA) is generally employed for recognition of the epidural space. One of the rare complications of this technique is pneumocephalus (PC).

The Use of a Dehydrated Amnion/Chorion Membrane Allograft in Patients Who Subsequently Undergo Reexploration after Posterior Lumbar Instrumentation

open access: yesAdvances in Orthopedics, 2015
Background Context. Products that can reduce development of epidural fibrosis may reduce risk for ongoing pain associated with development of scar tissue and make subsequent epidural reexploration easier. Purpose.
