Progress in the efficacy and mechanism of spinal cord stimulation in neuropathological pain

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a long-term recurrent disease caused by somatosensory nervous system injury, with spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia, ectopic and paresthesia as the main clinical manifestations. It adversely affects patients' quality of life. NP treatments often include medication, physical therapy, invasive therapy; first two therapies are generally ineffective for some patients. These patients sometimes rely on therapy to alleviate pain. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) very effective therapeutic method. SCS neuroregulatory method that involves placing electrodes corresponding painful spinal cords. Pain greatly alleviated after SCS. has been proven be an treatment neurological Furthermore, provides feasible approach unsuccessful drug treatment. This paper reviews relevant literature electrical stimulation, focusing mechanism action, application, efficacy technical progress stimulation. widely used in diseases such postherpetic neuralgia, back surgery failure syndrome, phantom limb With advancements science technology, tremendous also made good momentum maintained.
