Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has become an established clinical option for treatment of refractory chronic pain.Current hardware and implantation techniques for SCS are already highly developed and continuously improving, however equipment failures over the course of the long-term treatment are still encountered in a relatively high proportion of treated cases.Percutaneous SCS leads seem to be particularly prone to dislocation and insulation failures.We describe our experience of lead breakage in implanted SCS which was inserted to a complex regional pain syndrome patient who obtained satisfactory pain relief after the revision of SCS.
