Neuroaugmentation in the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome of the upper extremity

摘要: The authors report their results on 36 patients with advanced stages of complex regional pain syndrome. They were treated either spinal cord stimulation, or peripheral nerve and in some cases both modalities. Thirty six months after implantation the reported measured visual analogue scales was an average 53% better, this change statistically significant. Analgesic consumption decreased by about 50% reportedly more effective. conclude that late syndrome, neuroaugmentation is a reasonable option when alternative therapies have failed.
