High-frequency spinal cord stimulation at 10 kHz for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome: A case series of patients with or without previous spinal cord stimulator implantation
Pain Practice Jan 11, 2019
Gill JS, et al. - Researchers reported on the initial experience of high-frequency spinal cord stimulation at 10 kHz (HF10-SCS) in 13 patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), some of whom had been exposed to low-frequency SCS, via this retrospective case series. Among these patients, 12 went on to receive a permanent implant. During an average follow-up period of 12.1 ± 4.6 months, they observed the responder rate (50% pain relief) of 67% among the patients receiving permanent implants. No adverse events were reported. Hence for patients with CRPS who have chronic intractable pain, including those who had suboptimal results from traditional SCS, HF10-SCS seems to be a viable option.
