    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Pain Management
    • Neuromodulation

    Background:

    • Chronic pain affects millions globally, necessitating advanced therapeutic options.
    • Dorsal column electrical stimulation (DCS) is an established neuromodulation technique for intractable pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the outcomes of DCS in a cohort of 80 patients with chronic pain.
    • To delineate the appropriate indications and patient selection criteria for DCS therapy.
    • To document and analyze complications associated with DCS implantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 80 patients who underwent DCS for chronic pain.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, pain characteristics, and treatment outcomes.
    • Systematic tabulation of all complications occurring post-implantation.
