Spinal Cord Stimulator Therapy as a Last Resort Option in Refractory Neuropathic Groin Pain: A Case Report

A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is an excellent therapeutic strategy for many refractory chronic pain cases. They have a multi-faceted effect in providing relief in such indicated cases that include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). However, if a patient ha...

description A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is an excellent therapeutic strategy for many refractory chronic pain cases. They have a multi-faceted effect in providing relief in such indicated cases that include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). However, if a patient has chronic intractable neuropathic pain outside the standard indications for SCS, can a case be made for trialing SCS as a last resort option? We describe a case where a patient with neuropathic groin pain, refractory to numerous types of procedures and non-interventional modalities, successfully underwent SCS therapy as a last resort option.
