Four Year Follow-up of Dual Electrode Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain

Possible Stabilization of Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment in Refractory Angina Pectoris by Implantation of a Second Electrode: Case Reports

“…It is of great benefit to patients and caregivers alike to have a stable system that can be relied on. The newest literature points suggests improvement in long‐term outcomes when dual electrode devices are used (12,13). On the basis of the data originating from our patient population who are treated for refractory angina pectoris, we believe that single electrode devices can and do provide long‐term successful outcomes.…”

Staggered Transverse Tripoles With Quadripolar Lateral Anodes Using Percutaneous and Surgical Leads in Spinal Cord Stimulation

“…[1][2][3][4][5] SCS is accompanied by a tingling sensation called paresthesia in the corresponding dermatomes. An important condition for analgesia is that the stimulation-induced paresthesia covers the pain area completely.…”

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation or Is It Peripheral Subcutaneous Field Stimulation; What Is in a Moniker?

“…Structures stimulated by electrodes in the epidural space include not only the dorsal columns, but the posterior horn, the posterior root's entry zone, and the posterior roots, themselves (22,23). The most well‐established indications for this kind of stimulation are neuropathic pain syndromes such as failed back surgery syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome (24–28) in the United States and peripheral vascular disease and refractory angina pectoris in Europe (29,30).…”
