Spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain following traumatic spinal cord injury: a case report

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Central Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury: A Single-Center Case Series

“…In another case report of CRPS caused by incomplete SCI (AIS B), SCS was applied with an 80% improvement. 18 In our series, relief of pain was demonstrated only in patients with incomplete SCI. In 6 out of 8 patients no trial stimulation was performed.…”

Integrative approaches in spinal cord stimulation: Neuropathic pain management and motor recovery in spinal cord injury. A narrative review

“…The use of SCS for neuropathic pain due to SCI shows promise but lacks a robust evidence base, necessitating further research. One case report highlighted the successful application of SCS in a patient with SCI-related neuropathic pain, demonstrating significant pain relief ( Rosales et al, 2022 ). However, a review underscores the current reliance on case studies and low-quality evidence, advocating for prospective clinical trials to better evaluate SCS’s efficacy and safety ( Dombovy-Johnson et al, 2020 ).…”
