Spinal cord stimulation as a treatment for refractory neuropathic pain in tethered cord syndrome: a case report
INTRODUCTION The spinal cord is a target for many neurosurgical procedures used to treat chronic severe pain. Neuromodulation and neuroablation are surgical techniques based on well-known specific anatomical structures. However, anatomical and electrophysical changes related to the tethered spinal cord make it more difficult to use these procedures. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 3...
متن کاملSpinal Cord Stimulation for Refractory Neuropathic Pain of Neuralgic Amyotrophy.
The aim of this paper was to report the effect of temporary and chronic spinal cord stimulation for refractory neuropathic pain in neuralgic amyotrophy (NA). A 35-year-old female presented with two-months history of a severe, relentless neuropathic pain of the left shoulder, forearm, palm, and fingers. The neuropathic pain was refractory to various medical treatments, including nonsteroidal ant...
متن کاملSpinal Cord Stimulation for Refractory Angina Pectoris -A Case Report-
Refractory angina pectoris is defined as angina refractory to optimal medical treatment and standard coronary revascularization procedures. Despite recent therapeutic advances, patients with refractory angina pectoris are not adequately treated. Spinal cord stimulation is a minimally invasive and reversible technique which utilizes electrical neuromodulation by means of an electrode implanted i...
متن کاملModeling Subcutaneous Stimulation of Spinal Cord for Neuropathic Pain Treatment
Spinal stimulation for neuropathic treatment was modeled by incorporating and inhibitory junctions and a volume conductor into Hodgkin-Huxley and Frankenhaeuser-Huxley axon models. Results indicate successful merging of the models at low resistivity values but also show that these two mechanisms operate independently of one another. At high resistivity values, the model no longer produces relia...
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulation as a treatment option for intractable neuropathic cancer pain.
Nearly 6,750,000 people suffer moderate to severe cancer-related pain each year. Unfortunately, 10% to 15% of these patients fail to achieve acceptable pain relief with conventional management. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been used with increased frequency for successful treatment of intractable cancer pain. We present two cases of intractable, refractory-to-conventional treatment cancer ...
