Neuromodulation therapies such as spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion, and peripheral nerve stimulation are used to treat chronic pain syndromes such as intractable back pain, diabetic neuropathy, spinal radiculopathies, and complex regional pain syndrome. Since the publication of the first edition over a decade ago, there has been unprecedented progress in understanding neuromodulation and technological advances in clinical applications.

Spinal Cord Stimulation is intended as an essential guide to the clinical fundamentals required for safe and effective implantation of neuromodulation devices. Implantation of these devices is performed by physicians from various disciplines, requiring a multidisciplinary skill set that presents a challenge for surgical and non-surgical pain practitioners alike. This authoritative resource integrates the basic multidisciplinary information necessary for understanding spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) with up-to-date implantation techniques for clinicians to use in their daily practice. It also features updated advice for appropriate medical decision making, patient education, safe use of radiation, and managing adverse events, with new chapters dedicated toward DRG stimulation and PNS.
