Spinal nerve root stimulation offers a new approach to chronic pain management by targeting specific nerve roots. This review categorizes and analyzes various techniques for this neuromodulation therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Neuromodulation
  • Pain Management
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Chronic pain affects millions globally, necessitating advanced treatment options.
  • Spinal cord stimulation is established, but spinal nerve root stimulation presents a novel alternative.
  • Current terminology for spinal nerve root stimulation techniques is inconsistent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and categorize existing spinal nerve root stimulation techniques.
  • To define and illustrate different anatomical approaches used in spinal nerve root stimulation.
  • To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technique for chronic pain treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of available reports on spinal nerve root stimulation.
  • Categorization of techniques based on anatomical approach.
