Treatment of Neuropathic Pain and Functional Limitations Associated With Multiple Sclerosis Using an MRI-Compatible Spinal Cord Stimulator: A Case Report With Two Year Follow-Up and Literature Review.

Objective: To report a case with two years follow-up of neuropathic pain and functional limitations associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) effectively treated with an MRI conditional spinal cord stimulator (SCS) system that allowed for spinal imaging. To present a comprehensive literature review of spinal cord stimulator utilization in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Design: Case report and literature review.

Spinal cord stimulation utilization to treat the microcirculatory vascular insufficiency and ulcers associated with scleroderma: a case report and review of the literature.

Objective: To report a case of scleroderma with associated Raynaud's phenomenon and its successful treatment with spinal cord stimulation. To demonstrate the use of transcutaneous oxygen pressure monitoring to guide the progression from trial to implantation and to assess post-implantation microcirculatory recovery.

Design: Case report and literature review.

The utilization of transcutaneous oxygen pressures to guide decision-making for spinal cord stimulation implantation for inoperable peripheral vascular disease: a report of two cases.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may be helpful in treating pain and vascular insufficiency associated with inoperable peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Often decision-making regarding progression from trial to implantation is based on subjective measures. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure, a measure of microcirculation and tissue perfusion, provides information on changes that may occur in PVD patients that undergo SCS trials and may provide predictive information for patient outcomes.
