[Epidural stimulation for pain control (author's transl)]

T A Leclercq, E Russo

    Neuro-Chirurgie
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Internalized epidural stimulators offer good results for chronic pain in 50% of failed disc syndrome patients. Lateralized pain improves outcomes, while bilateral pain and electrode movement can lead to failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Pain Management
    • Spinal Cord Stimulation

    Context:

    • Focuses on patients with failed disc syndrome after multiple laminectomies.
    • Reviews 20 consecutive cases of internalized epidural stimulators.
    • Examines transcutaneous insertion techniques, outcomes, and complications.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of internalized epidural stimulators in managing chronic pain.
    • To identify factors influencing successful outcomes and common complications.
    • To suggest improvements for patient selection and device placement.

    Summary:

    • 50% of patients experienced pain relief and regained physical activity.
    • Successful outcomes were more common in patients with lateralized pain.
    • Failures were associated with bilateral pain distribution, post-operative infection, and electrode migration.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the potential of epidural stimulation for chronic pain management.
    • Identifies key areas for improvement, including patient selection and reducing electrode movement.
    • Provides insights for optimizing treatment strategies in complex spinal pain cases.
