Spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain following traumatic spinal cord injury: a case report.
Abstract
Neuropathic pain is a common complication of spinal cord injury (SCI), and is notoriously difficult to adequately treat. Gunshot wounds (GSW) near the spinal cord may cause intractable chronic pain through spinal/nerve root transection, or reactive tissue formation resulting in nerve root compression from retained bullet fragments (RBF).
