RESUMO
Spinal cord stimulation with weak electric current is a neuromodulatory treatment suitable for subgroups of patients with chronic neuropathic pain and certain other pain conditions. Neuropathic pain can reduce quality of life, and the effectiveness of pharmacological treatment is often limited. Studies of spinal cord stimulation have shown significant pain relief and improved functioning at group level, and recent years have seen the development of new stimulation methods which are currently under evaluation.
