Abstract

As a form of neuromodulation, spinal cord stimulation can be used with great efficacy in treating chronic pain symptoms. However, careful consideration in choosing the correct patient is important in ensuring maximal pain relief, and ultimate success of the spinal cord stimulator. The most common indication for spinal cord stimulation in the United States is failed back surgery syndrome. Other indications for spinal cord stimulator placement include complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral vascular disease, refractory angina, and painful diabetic neuropathy.
