Abstract

Modern technological advances using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) techniques are increasingly more customized to the individual including the ability to conduct precise parameter optimization and positional targeting of neurostimulative fields. Several published studies have previously shown that positive clinical outcomes are attainable in patients using paresthesia-based cervical Spinal Cord Stimulation for treatment of chronic upper limb or neck pain However, this population may be difficult to treat, and some may experience loss of pain relief over time.1-3 We therefore chose to investigate whether cervical SCS patients with chronic upper limb and neck pain can obtain highly effective outcomes when implanted with a system equipped with these device capabilities.
