Evolving Spinal Cord Stimulation Technologies and Clinical Implications in Chronic Pain Management
2019
Purpose of Review
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), based on the gate theory of nociception, has been shown to be effective in the management of chronic pain conditions. While early-generation technology offered many patients improvement in their pain and symptoms, limitations including paresthesia, dependence on mapping, decreased chronological efficacy, and inadequate coverage left many patients with persistent pain and overt therapeutic failure.
