Pain Physician, 2002 Spinal cord stimulation is the most common mode of neuromodulation used in managing chronic low back pain. It is minimally invasive and reversible as opposed to nerve ablation. The basic scientific background of the initial spinal cord stimulation trials was based on the gate control theory of Melzack and Wall.

Attrition with spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2015 The aim of this prospective study was to investigate whether spinal cord stimulation (SCS) significantly reduces pain intensity for up to 18-month follow-up in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. Forty-eight patients were recruited. Patients rated their pain using a Visual analog scale (VAS) and pain-related disability using the Oswestry Disability

Twiddler’s syndrome in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2015 The aims are to present a case series of Twiddler's syndrome in spinal cord stimulators with analysis of the possible mechanism of this syndrome and discuss how this phenomenon can be prevented.Data were collected retrospectively between 2007 and 2013 for all patients presenting with failure of spinal cord stimulators.
