Abstract
GOMEZ-GARCIA DE PASO, A.; MUNOZ-MARTIN, A. and ROBAINA, F. J.. Spinal cord stimulation in the Complex Regional Pain Type I: Cases report. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.8, pp.583-588. ISSN 1134-8046.
We presented 5 patients with diagnosis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy that they have been treated with spinal cord stimulation. The mean follow up was 6 years with a good result. Complications with the neuro-stimulation nor infections of the system in any case did not appear. The primary target of the rehabilitation treatment is to achieve the highest functionality with an individualized treatment and adapted to the necessities of each patient including drugs, topical agent, administration of epidurals substances and psychological therapy. The Spinal cord neuro-stimulation is a useful therapeutic method for the treatment of the pain and means to offer persistent lightening to the patients when other treatments have failed.
