Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation in Burst Mode in the Treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndromes Type 1 of the Upper Limbs

Spinal cord stimulation is possible thanks to implantable spinal cord neurostimulators. These are medical devices, which include a stimulation electrode and an implantable box, designed to deliver electrical stimulation for pain relief. The electrode is implanted in the epidural space in order to stimulate the posterior cords of the spinal cord through the dura mater, at the dorsal or cervical level.
