Transforaminal nerve root stimulation offers a novel approach for chronic pain, particularly peripheral neuropathy. This technique successfully relieved bilateral foot pain in a patient unresponsive to other treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Management
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Chronic pain conditions, including peripheral neuropathy, present significant challenges in management.
  • Medically refractory cases often require innovative therapeutic strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for transforaminal nerve root stimulation.
  • To evaluate its efficacy in treating chronic pain, specifically bilateral foot pain due to peripheral neuropathy.

Main Methods:

  • A retrograde approach using progressively angled stylets was employed to navigate stimulators into the intervertebral foramina.
  • Transforaminal nerve root stimulation was utilized to deliver paresthesias to the affected areas.

Main Results:

Published on: May 10, 2017

  • The described method successfully provided robust stimulation paresthesias to the painful areas.
  • The patient experienced significant pain relief without any procedural complications.

Conclusions:

  • Transforaminal nerve root stimulation is an easily implementable technique using standard tools.
  • This method may be a viable alternative for patients with suboptimal outcomes from spinal cord or peripheral nerve stimulation.
