Abstract
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a reliable treatment option or chronic pain conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome FBSS) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) [1,2]. However he use of SCS has thus far been limited largely to the thoracic pine, with enthusiasm for cervical SCS tempered by the challenge f securing an electrode in this inherently more flexible region. addle leads have here provided some advantages over percutaeous leads, minimizing lead migration. Yet, the role of cervical CS has largely remained unexplored, particularly in patients with ailed Neck Surgery Syndrome (FNSS). We employ the term FNSS o describe patients that have persistent, medically intractable pain f the upper extremities and/or neck despite having had at least ne prior cervical spine operation for degenerative disease, and xclude patients who have developed an iatrogenic CRPS. Such atients may present ideal candidates for cervical neuromodulaion. We herein briefly review our experience with cervical SCS for NSS.
