Epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) has shown promise for restoring some volitional motor control after spinal cord injury (SCI). Maximizing therapeutic response requires effective spatial stimulation generated through careful configuration of anodes and cathodes on the eSCS lead. By exploring the way the spatial distribution of low frequency s...

This study evaluates the use of a three-dimensional virtual reality spinal cord stimulator (SCS) training system to enhance trainee confidence and technical proficiency with interlaminar epidural access and SCS placement. A total of 14 trainees comprising pain fellows and residents were recruited. Experience and confidence levels were established t...

High-density (HD) spinal cord stimulation (SCS) delivers higher charge per time by increasing frequency and/or pulse duration, thus increasing stimulation energy. Previously, through phantom studies and computational modeling, we demonstrated that stimulation energy drives spinal tissue heating during kHz SCS. In this study, we predicted temperatur...

The goal of this meta-analysis was to estimate the incidence of total hematomas, neuraxial hematomas, and non-neuraxial hematomas in patients who underwent temporary spinal cord stimulator (SCS) lead trial placement and permanent implantation of SCS leads and internal pulse generator (IPG). A comprehensive search was conducted of databases of any p...

Burst spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has shown superior relief from overall pain and a reduction in back and leg pain compared with traditional tonic neurostimulation therapies. However, nearly 80% of patients have two or more noncontiguous pain areas. This can provide challenges in effectively programming stimulation and long-term therapy efficacy....

Burst spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can achieve excellent clinical reduction of pain, alongside improvements in function, quality of life, and related outcomes. Good outcomes likely depend on good lead placement, thereby enabling recruitment of the relevant neural targets. Several competing approaches exist for lead implantation, such as the use of...

Chronic headache remains a major cause of disability and pain worldwide. Although the literature has extensively described pharmacologic options for headache treatment and prophylaxis, there remains a paucity of data on the efficacy of neuromodulation interventions for treatment of headache unresponsive to conventional pharmacologic therapy. The pr...

This is a retrospective, observational study. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has found its application in chronic pain treatment, with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) as one of the most important indications. However, to date, little is known about the long-term effectiveness of the treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze retrospectively ...

High-frequency spinal cord stimulation (HF-SCS) is a treatment option for postsurgical persistent spinal pain syndrome (type 2 PSPS). We aimed to determine the health care costs associated with this therapy in a nationwide cohort. IBM Marketscan® Research Databases were used to identify patients who underwent HF-SCS implantation from 2016 to 2019. ...
