“…In the largest series to date, Khan et al 89 reported on nine patients with refractory abdominal pain. Five of the nine patients had nonalcoholic pancreatitis, three had presumed abdominal wall neuromas from frequent abdominal surgery, and the last had postsplenectomy pain after trauma.…”

Spinal Cord Stimulation: An Update

Summary:Spinal cord stimulation has been used in the treatment of many chronic pain disorders since 1967. In this update, the indications for spinal cord stimulation are reviewed with attention to recent publications. A focused review of the literature on abdominal and visceral pain syndromes is also provided. Furthermore, the technology has evolved from the use of monopolar electrodes to complex electrode arrays. Similarly, the power source has changed from a radio frequency-driven system to a rechargeable impulse generator. These topics are covered, along with a short discussion of implant technique. Finally, we include a review of complications of such therapy. SCS as a technology and therapy continues to evolve.

“…7 The SCS technique has been used for the treatment of various conditions, including complex regional pain syndrome, 32,34 FBSS, 31,34 peripheral vascular disease, 10 neuropathic pain, 33 refractory angina, 10 and more recently, visceral pain, 17 including pelvic pain. 15 Outcome research has shown that SCS for FBSS is effective to improve quality of life, increase activities of daily living, 21 and reduce health care costs for the long run.…”

The authors present a patient with a lipomyelomeningocele and worsening back pain due to recurrent tethered cord syndrome. Because of the increased risk and unlikely improvement in symptoms with repeated surgical untethering, she was offered an alternative treatment with a trial of dorsal spinal cord stimulation. She had an excellent response to the percutaneous trial, and a permanent implant was placed, with good initial results. The authors review her case as well as the treatment options, indications, and outcomes for recurrent tethered cord syndrome.

“…Oddly enough, patients with chronic pancreatitis, no matter what the cause, usually get no relief or very brief or partial relief from celiac plexus block 14) . Recent studies have demonstrated significant involvement of dorsal column pathways in transmission of visceral pain syndrome [3][4][5] . Application of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for the neuropathic pain, such as failed back surgery syndrome, angina pectoris, peripheral nerve injury pain, causalgia, reflex sympathetic dystrophy have been shown good outcome [3][4][5]7,8,16) .…”

J Korean Neurosurg Soc 46 : [165][166][167] 2009 Pain caused by chronic pancreatitis is medically intractable and resistant to conventional interventional or surgical treatment. We report a case of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for intractable pain due to chronic pancreatitis. The patient had a history of nonalcoholic chronic pancreatitis and multiple emergency room visits as well as repeated hospitalization including multiple nerve block and morphine injection for 3 years. We implanted surgical lead at T6-8 level on this patient after successful trial of percutaneous electrode. The patient experienced a decreased visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain intensity and amount of opioid intake. The patient was followed for more than 14 months with good outcome and no further hospitalization. From our clinical case, spinal cord stimulation on intractable pain due to chronic pancreatitis revealed moderate pain control outcome. We suggest that SCS is an effective, noninvasive treatment option for abdominal visceral pain. Further studies and long term follow-up are needed to fully understand the effect of SCS on abdominal visceral pain.
