Selective Nerve Root Stimulation (SNRS) in the Treatment of End-Stage, Diabetic, Peripheral Neuropathy: A Case Report

Sacral Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Case Report

“…Aló et al. (36–41) documented an alternative approach to make selective nerve root stimulation. They recommend that a Tuohy needle is inserted on the contralateral skin and superiorly to the interlaminar space, and is advanced in trans ‐spinal and caudal direction until the needle enters the epidural space in the midline.…”

Sacral Nerve Stimulation With Percutaneous Dorsal Transforamenal Approach in Treatment of Isolated Pelvic Pain Syndromes

“…Stimulation of low threshold mechanical Aβ fibers within specific painful dermatomes at anatomic positions other than spinal cord (the peripheral nervous system) may overcome these problems. Based on our review of the literature, sacral nerve root stimulation seems to be very effective (2,5,7–9,11–17) as an alternative to SCS. Pelvic pain is mediated mainly by sacral afferent parasympathetic fibers of S2–S4 and, therefore, S2, S3, and S4 nerve roots are appropriate targets for electrical stimulation.…”

Selective Nerve Root Stimulation (SNRS) for the Treatment of Intractable Pelvic Pain and Motor Dysfunction: A Case Report

“…Two SNRS quadrapolar (ANS, Plano, TX) electrodes were placed at the bilateral S2/3 level utilizing a selective cephalocaudal approach ( 3‐8) ( Figs. 3 and 4) Characteristic (expected) stimulation paresthesia were described in the parasacral/paracoccygeal regions as well as in the vulva and lower extremities.…”
