Spinal Cord Stimulation in the Treatment of Cancer Pain: A Retrospective Review

Comparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation and Traditional Debridement Care in the Treatment of Ischemic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Retrospective Cohort Study

“…18 SCS acts on multiple pathways in the central nervous system and is therefore used to treat a variety of other conditions such as angina pectoris, ischemic pain due to peripheral vascular disease, occipital neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and visceral pain such as interstitial cystitis, pancreatitis, and cancer pain. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The findings of previous studies indicated that SCS was effective in improving quality of life, decreasing pain visual analog score, improving lower limb blood flow, increasing lower limb skin temperature, and decreasing amputation rates in patients with mixed diabetic foot and peripheral neuropathy. 27,28 SCS was superior to endovascular intervention in the treatment of painful DFU.…”
