Generator pocket pain (GPP) in spinal cord stimulation (SCS) patients can be treated with autologous microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) injection. This novel approach offers a promising alternative to IPG relocation or removal for refractory pain.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Regenerative Medicine
- Pain Management
Background:
- Generator pocket pain (GPP) affects spinal cord stimulation (SCS) patients, with reported frequencies between 0.9% and 64%.
- Current management for refractory GPP involves implantable pulse generator (IPG) relocation or removal, which are invasive procedures.
- There is a need for less invasive and effective treatments for GPP.
