Successful use of differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation for chronic postsurgical abdominal pain

Ryusuke Tanaka et al.

Summary: Recently, there have been advancements in stimulation techniques that have improved the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS). However, there are no reports on the efficacy of using differential target multiplexed (DTM) SCS for chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after abdominal surgery. In this case study, we present the successful use of DTM SCS for controlling CPSP after distal pancreatectomy.

The Neurostimulation Appropriateness Consensus Committee (NACC): Recommendations for Surgical Technique for Spinal Cord Stimulation

Timothy R. Deer et al.

Summary: Neurostimulation for chronic pain treatment is rapidly advancing, with surgical planning, device placement, and postoperative care being equally important as technological improvements. The NACC project aims to provide evidence-based guidance for these often-overlooked areas in neurostimulation practice, with recommendations based on evidence strength and consensus when evidence is lacking.

Adverse Events Associated With 10-kHz Dorsal Column Spinal Cord Stimulation A 5-Year Analysis of the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) Database

Ryan S. D'Souza et al.

Summary: This study systematically examined complications associated with 10kHz SCS in real-world settings and provided a real-world assessment of safety data for this stimulation modality. The majority of complications were managed surgically, with explant being the most common procedure. Non-neuraxial infection and lead damage were the most common complications.

Twelve-Month results from multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation and traditional spinal cord stimulation in subjects with chronic intractable back pain and leg pain

Michael Fishman et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the superiority of DTM SCS over traditional SCS in treating chronic low back pain, showing sustained clinical improvements over 12 months. Safety profiles were similar between treatment groups.
