Spinal cord stimulation

Anesthesiology, 2010
Electricity has been used for centuries to relieve pain but spinal cord stimulation (SCS) came about with the Gate Control Theory in the 1960s SCS was originally thought simply to close the gate by activating A fibres but its effect is more complex.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2019
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been well established as a safe and effective treatment of pain derived from a wide variety of etiologies. Careful patient selection including a rigorous trial period and psychological evaluation are essential. When patients proceed to permanent implantation, various considerations should be made, such as the type of ...

Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Contemporary Series

Neurosurgery, 1991
Abstract 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 stimulation revisited

Neurological Research, 1998
The 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 for Spasticity

1987
After the dramatic improvement of multiple sclerosis patients reported by Cook and Weinstein (1973), spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for the relief of spasticity and motor dyskinesias has been applied to a large number of patients. However, the overall effectiveness of this treatment has been a subject of considerable debate, some authors even reaching ...

Significance of the Spinal Cord Position in Spinal Cord Stimulation

1995
The effects of the antero-posterior and medio-lateral positions of the spinal cord in the dural sac on the perception threshold and paresthesia coverage in spinal cord stimulation were analyzed. The distributions of the dorsal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) layer thickness, measured from transverse MR scans of normal subjects at various spinal levels, were ...

Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Review

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2011
Spinal 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,
