Abstract Forty-three patients with chronic pain disorders of different causes were selected for spinal cord stimulation. All underwent implantation of a ribbon electrode through a small laminotomy, under general anesthesia. Thirteen patients (30%) failed to obtain significant pain relief during a period of trial stimulation, and their electrodes were removed. The remainder underwent a definitive implant and were followed for a mean of 13 months (range, 3-33 months). Nineteen of them (63%) continued to experience pain relief. A detailed analysis of this series, as well as a literature review, is presented.

Introduction: The spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been described as a valuable neuromodulating procedure in the management of chronic and medically untreated neuropathic pain. Although, many studies have discussed the use of this technique, a question still remains regarding its efficacy in different medical conditions with different etiology in the long term. The aim of this paper is to discuss the risks, complications, cost-effectiveness and results of SCS in patients affected by chronic neuropathic pain based on the comprehensive literature review. Methods: Bibliographic search of references from 1950 to 2016 using the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, PubMed, and applied language as selection criteria, choosing preferably recent articles written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. Results: Based on literature review, SCS is a safe, reversible, adjustable and nondestructive surgical procedure demonstrating a significant effect in the reduction of pain intensity and improvement in quality of life in these patients. Furthermore, in spite of the initial high cost to its application, SCS has been associated with lower rates of complications and high rates of cost-effectiveness when compared to standard therapies. Conclusion: Although used in medical conditions with different etiology, the procedure is still an effective and a cost-effective approach to neuropathic pain, mainly in patients affected by failed back pain syndrome (FBSS) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Background: Chronic renal pain secondary to uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is common but remains poorly understood. Patients with UPJO experience frequent infections, renal calculi and pain. Management options for patients with this condition are traditionally limited to surgical interventions to eliminate the obstruction. Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has gained widespread popularity for the treatment of numerous conditions from complex regional pain syndrome to failed back syndrome. With continued success, the possible use of SCS has steadily increased. Although a significant number of patients with severe chronic renal pain will transiently respond to analgesics and physical interventions such as autonomic sympathetic blocks, substantial long-term pain relief is usually lacking. SCS therefore might be a welcome addition to the treatment of moderate to severe chronic renal pain. . Objective: This article presents a case of using spinal cord stimulation in the management of chronic renal pain secondary to Uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Design: Case report Setting: Academic University Pain Management Center Methods: A 38-year old female presented with a 15-year history of persistent right sided flank pain secondary to congenital uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. After failing to respond adequately to stenting, medications and nerve blocks, a trial of spinal cord stimulation and subsequent permanent implantation of a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) were performed. Results: The patient reported significant improvement in pain, overall functioning and no consumption of opioids during the SCS trial and following system implant. Limitations: A case report. Conclusion: Spinal cord stimulation might be an option in the management of chronic renal pain secondary to Uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Key words: spinal cord stimulation, renal pain, uretero-pelvic jnction obstruction, visceral pain, flank pain, pelvic pain
