Spinal cord stimulation has been utilized for management of spinal pain for nearly 3 decades. In the last 5 years, a number of prospective trials have emerged and there have been significant advances in the technology. The paradigms of the frequency of stimulation, stimulation of muscles through nerves, target structures such as the dorsal root ganglion, and even stimulation of the spinal cord for gait and spinal cord injury are emerging.
Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
- Review the prospective RCT data on the use of 10 Khz stimulation on the spinal cord;
- Identify the prospective data on the use of dorsal root ganglion stimulation;
- Distinguish when a neurostimulation technologies and their interaction with MRI;
- Comprehend the science of stimulation of nerve to drive and treat muscle pain.
