Spinal cord electrical stimulation (analytical review)

Abstract

The article made a brief overview of the principles and features of electrostimulation of the spinal cord in patients with different pathologies: failed back surgery syndrome, chronic pain, spastic conditions, spinal cord lesions of various etiologies, local ischemic disorders. Provides information about the prospects of direction.

Keywords:electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, neurostimulation, failed back surgery syndrome, chronic pain syndrome, spastic syndrome
