Nerve Injury Induced Pain and Modulation by Spinal Cord Stimulation
Chronic neuropathic pain caused by injury to or disease in the nervous system is relatively common and results in major suffering, poor quality of life and incapacity. Such pain is a therapeutic challenge because a considerable portion of the patients fails to benefit from pharmacotherapy. Therefore, there is a need for alternative treatment modalities. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has proven ...
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 for intractable chronic pain.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is minimally invasive and reversible therapy for treatment of severe, otherwise nonresponsive chronic pain. Such approach is relatively safe, with very few side-effects, not addictive, and provides enduring therapeutic response. A number of clinical studies support the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation in treating failed back surgery syndrome and complex regional...
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulation for chronic pain.
Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord for the relief of pain was first reported in 1967. Since that time, there have been marked improvements in patient selection criteria, hardware, technology, and methods for implantation, which have resulted in substantial improvement in the overall results achieved with spinal cord stimulation.
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulation for central poststroke pain.
BACKGROUND Although spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been shown to be effective for treating neuropathic pain of peripheral origin, its effectiveness for central poststroke pain (CPSP) is not well established. OBJECTIVE We report our experience with SCS in 30 consecutive patients with intractable CPSP. METHODS All patients underwent a percutaneous SCS trial. When patients decided to procee...
