Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), and more especially epidural SCS (eSCS), was first created to treat chronic pain and has been described since 1967. It includes the surgical insertion of a tiny array of electrodes into the epidural region.
Recent research has identified epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) as a viable treatment for chronic spinal cord damage (SCI). It has been demonstrated that eSCS can find undiscovered routes in the injured spinal cord. The main conclusions that have been drawn so far about the application of eSCS in SCI are summarized in this review. Utilizing the reference lists from the included papers as well as the databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science, searches were conducted. Studies looking into the application of eSCS to enable volitional movement and to reestablish autonomic function in SCI patients were found using a combination of medical subject heading terms and keywords.
In order to prevent pain signals from flowing from your spine to your brain, an epidural anesthesia injection works by injecting an anesthetic into the epidural area around your spine.
