ACEVEDO-GONZALEZ, Juan Carlos. Dissertation on Spinal Cord Stimulation for Pain Management. Non-Systematic Review of the Literature. Univ. Med. [online]. 2021, vol.62, n.2, e32430. Epub 15-Maio-2021. ISSN 0041-9095. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.umed62-2.decp.
Pain is one of the symptoms (acute pain) and pathologies (chronic pain) that affect the general population and society the most from every point of view. From any aspect analyzed, the emotional and monetary expenses are immense. When pain becomes chronic, it requires exceptional treatments that allow adequate control of symptoms. Among the procedures used for the control of chronic pain in neurosurgery is the spinal cord estimulation in the segment in which the symptoms originate. It is a standardized procedure that has been used since the mid-1970s and has shown great utility. In this article we seek to present a narrative made from a non-systematic review of the literature, where we illustrate the historical development of the concept and the basic parameters for its realization.
