영문 초록

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been used extensively for the management of refractory chronic pain, including complex regional pain syndrome and failed back surgery syndrome. The progressive improvements in the selection criteria of patients, implantation devices, and techniques in implantation can lead to satisfactory results for the treatment of a range of chronic pain. In addition, despite its high initial cost, it provides an improvement of the function and quality of life of patients cost-effectively, compared to alternative therapy strategies. This article reviews the equipment and technology, indications, and complications of SCS.
