SPINE , 2002, vol. 27, n° 22, p. 2584-2591 Doc n°: 107553 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : AD8 - DOULEUR A literature review was conducted. Objective. To review the indications and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation, particularly in reference to spinal origin. Summary of Background Data. The first spinal cord stimulation was implanted by Shealy in 1967 via a subarachnoid route. Early systems were plagued with a high rate of complications and technical problems. With the evolving technology, especially the advent of multichannel programmable systems and more precise epidural placement, the ability of spinal cord stimulation to treat various pain syndromes improved. This article reviews the literature on spinal cord stimulation from 1967 to the present. Methods. The literature is reviewed, with a particular focus on recent studies investigating the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation for low back pain. Results. Most studies are limited by the same flaws, namely, retrospective study design. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2003225634 |
