Article Synopsis
- - Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive method used to treat severe neuropathic pain, but it's important to be aware of possible biologic complications during implantation.
- - Although biologic complications like infection and nerve injury happen less often than device-related issues, they can have more serious effects on patients.
- - Understanding these potential complications is essential for doctors to ensure patient safety and improve outcomes when using SCS for pain management.
Purpose Of Review: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an increasingly utilized therapy for the treatment of neuropathic pain conditions. Though minimally invasive and reversable, there are several important device-related complications that physicians should be aware of before offering this therapy to patients. The aim of this review is to synthesize recent studies in device-related SCS complications pertaining to cylindrical lead implantation and to discuss etiologies, symptoms and presentations, diagnostic evaluation, clinical implications, and treatment options.
