Summary
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may cause skin issues like itching and rash, not allergies. Deactivating the device can help diagnose and manage these rare dermatological complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Dermatology
- Pain Management
Background:
- Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) effectively treats chronic neuropathic pain.
- Rare dermatological complications can arise from SCS therapy.
- Prurigo nodularis is a potential, though uncommon, side effect.

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Somatic Spinal Reflexes
6.2K
Somatic spinal reflexes are rapid, involuntary muscular responses to external stimuli that involve the somatic musculature and the spinal cord.
One of the most well-known somatic spinal reflexes is the stretch reflex, which is activated by the sudden stretching of a muscle. This reflex involves the activation of specialized sensory receptors called muscle spindles, which are located in the muscle tissue and detect changes in the length and speed of muscle contractions. When a muscle is suddenly...
