Neuropathic pain constitutes a significant portion of chronic pain. Patients with neuropathic pain are usually more heavily burdened than patients with nociceptive pain. They suffer more often from insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Moreover, analgesic medication often has an insufficient effect on neuropathic pain. Spinal cord stimulation constitutes a therapy alternative that, to date, remains underused. In the last 10 to 15 years, it has undergone constant technical advancement. This review gives an overview of the present practice of spinal cord stimulation for chronic neuropathic pain and current developments such as high-frequency stimulation and peripheral nerve field stimulation.

“…In this strategy, leads are implanted subcutaneously, and an electrical field is created between the leads, resulting in stimulation via cross-talk. 204,205 Initial cohorts of patients were recently subject to inter-lead stimulation for axial spine pain. Leads were placed using ultrasound guidance, and 50% of the treated patients reported reduced pain following treatment, though one patient required a secondary surgery due to lead-migration.…”

Devices of increasing functionality, complexity, and innovation have been designed to interface with the peripheral nervous system (PNS), to restore motor and sensory functional losses resulting from a wide range of neuromuscular disorders or injury. In this chapter, we review peripheral nerve anatomy, architecture, and concepts in nerve biomechanics. We then examine peripheral nerve devices currently in use clinically or under development, with an emphasis on physiological and biological interactions with each device. Based on the interplay between nerve architecture, biomechanics, and an implanted device, we suggest several criteria to be factored into design, evaluation, and implementation of the next generation of nerve devices. These include (i) appropriate scaling of a device to a targeted nerve to reduce compression or migration; (ii) lead stabilization or outright elimination; (iii) awareness of natural flexion, excursion, and strain of the targeted nerve prior to and following implantation; (iv) architectural characterization of the implantation site, both geometrically and biomechanically, accounting for subject-to-subject variability; (v) minimization of fibrosis; (vi) utilization of image-guided device implantation; and (vii) appropriate patient selection. Consideration of these criteria may help balance the continued improvement of device capabilities with an appropriate biomechanical and physiological response, towards enhanced neuromuscular and sensory function.
