Since 1996 we have placed temporary catheters at the cervical nerve roots in chronic pain patients for the treatment of radiculopathy and complex regional pain syndrome. We investigated the possibility of placing electrodes both at the cervical spinal nerve and dorsal root ganglion for the purpose of neuromodulation.

- This study explores a new method of pain management by stimulating nerve roots in the lumbar region, as traditional spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has limitations.
- Five patients with chronic pain issues, who did not respond to standard treatments, underwent nerve root stimulation trials, achieving over 75% paresthesia coverage and significant pain reduction.
- All participants reported satisfaction, with four opting for permanent implantation, highlighting the need for further research on long-term effectiveness and safety of this approach.
Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation using multiple independent programmable electrode selections compared to simple continuous stimulation. Design.

The efficacy of pulseless perfusion versus pulsatile perfusion in the recovery of end-organ function has not been fully determined. In this study, the efficacy of pulseless perfusion compared to pulsatile perfusion on the recovery of renal function after a 30 min period of normothermic ischemia was examined.
