Abstract Background Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently complain of intractable pain that is resistant to conservative treatments. Here, we report the successful application of 1-kHz high-frequency spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in a patient with refractory neuropathic pain secondary to SCI. Case presentation A 69-year-old male diagnosed with SCI (C4 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A) presented with severe at-level bilateral upper extremity neuropathic pain. Temporary improvement in his symptoms with a nerve block implied peripheral component involvement. The patient received SCS, and though the tip of the leads could not reach the cervical vertebrae, a 1-kHz frequency stimulus relieved the intractable pain. Conclusions SCI-related symptoms may include peripheral components; SCS may have a considerable effect on intractable pain. Even when the SCS electrode lead cannot be positioned in the target area, 1-kHz high-frequency SCS may still produce positive effects.

Adjustment Issues

Research has identified several psychosocial adjustment issues which follow a traumatic injury. We studied two women with spinal cord injuries to determine how the injury had affected their life satisfaction, and to identify areas of adjustment requiring attention. Significant issues emerged concerning intimate relationships and dating, response to societal reactions to their appearance, vocational pursuits, spirituality, and locus of control. Suggestions for further research are presented, and implications for facilitating adjustment to disability are discussed.
