Spinal cord stimulation with implanted epidural paddle lead relieves chronic axial low back pain
INTRODUCTION Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) provides significant relief for lumbosacral radiculopathy refractory to both medical and surgical treatment, but historically only offers limited relief for axial low back pain (LBP). We aim to evaluate the response of chronic axial LBP treated with SCS using a surgically implanted epidural paddle lead. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective r...
متن کاملEpidural anesthesia for permanent spinal cord stimulation with a cylindrical type lead: a case series
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. Epidural anesthesia can be used to perform the SCS implantation without discomfort if the patient can localize the area of paresthesia. However, little is known about epidural anes...
متن کاملDorsal paddle leads implant for spinal cord stimulation through laminotomy with midline structures preservation
BACKGROUND Pain relief obtained with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) has been shown to be more effective with paddle leads than with percutaneous catheters. A laminectomy is generally required to implant the paddles, but the surgical approach may lead to iatrogenic spinal instability in flexion. In contrast, clinical and experimental data showed that a lamin...
متن کاملEpidural hematoma following implantation of a permanent spinal cord stimulator paddle.
TO THE EDITOR: Neurologic injury is the most feared complication of spinal cord stimulator implantation. Unfortunately, this topic has received little attention in the literature, making it difficult to assess the causes and possible strategies to avoid these injuries. This is a report of a case of incomplete spinal cord injury and epidural hematoma that developed in a patient 36 hours after im...
متن کاملSpontaneous Lead Breakage in Implanted Spinal Cord Stimulation Systems
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has become an established clinical option for treatment of refractory chronic pain. Current hardware and implantation techniques for SCS are already highly developed and continuously improving; however, equipment failures over the course of long-term treatment are still encountered in a relatively high proportion of the cases treated with it. Percutaneous SCS leads...
