PO132 / #746 COULD BE SPINAL CORD STIMULATION AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF REFRACTORY NON-NEUROPATHIC SHOULDER PAIN? A REPORT OF TWO CASES: E-POSTER VIEWING

Abstract

Shoulder pain is a common health problem in adult population, with a high lifetime prevalence. There’s a 20% of patients that show an unsatisfactory result in pain control with conservative and surgical management. Since percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation has shown success in patients with persistent pain due to subacromial impingement syndrome, we believe that spinal cord stimulation may be utilized to treat refractory chronic shoulder pain.
