High‐frequency spinal cord stimulation in treatment of phantom lower limb pain following spinal cord injury: A case report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Pain management in patients with complete spinal cord injury is complex. CASE REPORT: We report a successful case of managing neuropathic, phantom limb, and back pain below the level of spinal cord injury (T5 American Spinal Injury Association [ASIA] A) using a 10 kHz high-frequency spinal cord stimulator (SCS) over a 6-month follow-up period. CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of this approach may be attributed to its ability to modulate supraspinal pain processing, allowing for targeted relief of various pain mechanisms below the level of injury.
