Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offers chronic pain relief, evolving from open surgery to minimally invasive epidural placement. Both semi-implant and full-implant systems are available, with a focus on aseptic surgical techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Management
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Chronic pain treatment
  • Gate control theory of pain (1965)
  • Evolution of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) techniques

Purpose:

  • Describe the rationale and evolution of SCS for chronic pain.
  • Detail the types of SCS systems (semi-implant and full-implant).
  • Outline the surgical procedure, emphasizing aseptic techniques and complication avoidance.

Summary:

  • Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic pain, rooted in the gate control theory.
  • SCS delivery has advanced from open surgery to minimally invasive epidural puncture.
  • Two main systems exist: semi-implants (external stimulator) and full implants (fully implanted system).
