Spinal cord stimulation revisited
Neurological Research, 1998The proportion of patients with intractable pain successfully managed with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) remains disputed. We analyze 27 consecutive patients with intractable pain treated with SCS using identical hardware (Itrel II System; Medtronic Neurological, Inc Minneapolis, MN, USA) by a single satisfactory diagnosis 1992 through 1995.

Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Review
Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2011Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a safe and effective treatment of a variety of chronic pain conditions. As our understanding of the mechanisms of action and potential uses of SCS has evolved, clinical and technological advancements have followed. This review provides an overview of potential mechanisms of action of SCS, evidence for its effectiveness,

Spinal cord stimulation and cerebral haemodynamics
Acta Neurochirurgica, 1991An increase of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) has been shown to occur in man during spinal cord stimulation (SCS) by Hosobuchi (1986) and by Meglio et al. (1988) using the 133-Xenon wash-out technique. In this paper we report the effects of SCS on CBF as measured by two different techniques: 8 patients were studied with the 133-Xe method and 28 ...

Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Contemporary Series
Neurosurgery, 1991Abstract Forty-three patients with chronic pain disorders of different causes were selected for spinal cord stimulation. All underwent implantation of a ribbon electrode through a small laminotomy, under general anesthesia. Thirteen patients (30%) failed to obtain significant pain relief during a period of trial stimulation, and their ...

Spinal Cord Injury and Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation
2021After SCI, deficits of motor, sensory, and autonomic functions are commensurate with injury severity and level (Jaja et al. 2019; Failli et al. 2012). Advances in clinical care have reduced morbidities, increased survival, and improved neurological recovery after SCI (Freed et al. 1966; Stauffer 1975; Closson et al. 1991; Badhiwala et al. 2021).

Spinal Cord Injury Induced by a Cervical Spinal Cord Stimulator
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, 2011The use of cervical spinal cord stimulators for the treatment of refractory neck and upper extremity pain is widely accepted and growing in use as a treatment modality. This case highlights a previously unreported potential complication of spinal cord stimulators.Analysis of a patient with a cervical spinal cord stimulator presenting with a spinal cord

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a nondestructive, nonmedicated, reversible neuromodulation technique for the management of intractable neuropathic pain conditions. It is recognized as a valuable additional tool to the pain specialist’s armamentarium. Clinical evidence is now accumulating to suggest that, when used appropriately in a multidisciplinary ...

Neuromodulation and Spinal Cord Stimulators
2018The Interventional Pain Management Ladder reflects a possible paradigm disruption in chronic pain management. For treatment of chronic pain after failure of pharmacotherapy, the standard of care should shift to less-invasive interventional pain management as the preferred second-line treatment prior to more tissue-disruptive spine surgery.
