“…For neuropathic pain due to several etiologies in upper and lower limb, even caused by infectious diseases as Lyme, we found an ideal indication 54 . Preoperative or intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) provide an objective prediction of patient outcome after SCS.…”

Background: The Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy, Sudeck atrophy, causalgy or posttraumatic pain has been described as an important cause of chronic morbidity, which acknowledge of clinical limits, pathophysiology and implications of pathogenesis is still little elucidated. Therefore a great dissatisfaction for patients and health professionals has been described regarding to the currently available therapeutic methods. Objectives: The goal of this paper is to discuss the current perspectives of physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment in CRPS. Methods: A review of the literature was carried out using the MEDLINE, LILACS, and SciELO databases, with preference to articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: The diagnosis is predominantly based in clinical evidences of signs and symptoms. Although it has been described in the literature in many studies and guidelines about the treatment of CRPS, there is no consensus of procedure indications. Between the surgical methods, the use of spinal cord stimulation and others neuromodulators approaches has been described associated to significant rates of success in the management of CRPS. Conclusion: According to the literature and authors experience, the successful treatment of CRPS is based in early diagnosis associated to experienced interdisciplinary team aiming the functional restoration and psychological aspect monitoring.

“…Education of physicians is key in identifying and providing early intervention in the appropriate SCS candidate. Case reports are numerous, and there are innovative pain applications for use of SCS such as treatment of chronic pain from Lyme disease [41,42] and chronic knee pain following total joint arthroplasty [43]. Despite the growing number of SCS clinical trials, there still remains a need for larger RCTs in both chronic-pain-related and nonpain-related applications.…”

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) continues to gain validation as an effective and safe treatment option for a variety of chronic pain syndromes, including failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, refractory angina pectoris, and phantom limb pain. Over the past 30 years, SCS has demonstrated successful outcomes in pain reduction, as well as improvement in quality of life and function. Additionally, there are promising developments under way with cervical spine level SCS and non-painrelated indications. Despite the success of SCS thus far, there is still a paucity of randomized control trials, and further clinical research is warranted to better establish SCS's efficacy across its spectrum of applications.

Introduction:The spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been described as a valuable neuromodulating procedure in the management of chronic and medically untreated neuropathic pain. Although many studies have discussed the use of this technique, a question still remains regarding its efficacy in different medical conditions with different etiology in the long term. The aim of this paper is to discuss the risks, complications, cost-effectiveness, and results of SCS in patients affected by chronic neuropathic pain based on the comprehensive literature review.
