Abstract

Objectives: Chronic pain is a cause that negatively affects quality of life and functional capacity. Spinal cord stimulation is used for various painful indications such as failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Our aim is to retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of cervical spinal cord stimulator therapy in nine patients.
