Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain

Richard B. North, Gary L. Roark

Abstract

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord for the relief of pain was first reported in 1967. Since that time, there have been marked improvements in patient selection criteria, hardware, technology, and methods for implantation, which have resulted in substantial improvement in the overall results achieved with spinal cord stimulation.
