Summary
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) effectively reduced neuropathic pain and paresthesia after forearm amputation. This intervention also unexpectedly improved motor function, range of motion, and strength.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pain Management
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a common treatment for chronic pain unresponsive to other therapies.
- While SCS effectively reduces pain and paresthesia, reports of functional motor improvements are less frequent.
