High‐Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation in a Patient with an Implanted Cardiac Device

Abstract

While others have reported safety during traditional SCS in patients with implanted cardiac devices, this is the first case report to describe safe and effective use of high-frequency SCS in a patient with an implanted cardiac device.

Research hotspots and trends on spinal cord stimulation for pain treatment: a two-decade bibliometric analysis

“…Additionally, in terms of SCS research, both American and European researchers have used SCS for the treatment of a variety types of pain as well as conducting many studies on complications and infections after SCS implantation. However, European researchers showed more interest in burst stimulation ( De Ridder et al, 2010 , 2013 ; Schu et al, 2014 ), FBSS pain control ( Zucco et al, 2015 ), the research of complications, risk of infection, and quality of life after implantation of SCS ( Kumar et al, 2006 , 2007 ; Deer et al, 2014 ), while American researchers were more interested in developing new technologies such as HF stimulation ( De Carolis et al, 2017 ; Kissoon et al, 2017 ; Kapural et al, 2020 ; Gupta et al, 2021 ; Kapural and Calodney, 2022 ).…”

Spinal cord stimulation has been used clinically for over 50 years for pain treatment, and has been proven to be effective in clinical trials.…”
