Field distribution of epidural electrical stimulation [PDF]
Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2013 Epidural electrical stimulation has been applied in clinics for many years. However, there is still a concern about possible injury to spinal nerves. This study investigated electrical field and current density distribution during direct epidural electrical stimulation.

Spinal motor mapping by epidural stimulation of lumbosacral posterior roots in humans [PDF]
iScience, 2021 Summary: Epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is an emergent strategy for the neurological recovery of lower-extremity motor function. Motoneuron pools are thought to be recruited by stimulation of posterior roots.

Epidural anesthesia for permanent spinal cord stimulation with a cylindrical type lead: a case series [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2015 Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in trials involving external stimulation are easily conducted under local anesthesia. However, implantation of a permanent SCS system is painful, and can be intolerable in some patients.
