Abstract:

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can inhibit or alleviate pain by blocking pain signal transmission, interfering with pain pathway, activating opioid pathway, stimulating locus coeruleus system and regulating γ-aminobutyric acid ergic. It is applied in the treatment of neuropathic pain (NP), such as post-herpetic neuralgia, failed back surgery syndrome, phantom limb pain, painful diabetic neuropathy, head and facial neuropathic pain, pudendal neuralgia, etc.

Key words: spinal cord stimulation, neuropathic pain, treatment, review
