The pain of spinal origin is a pathological condition with a significant incidence and prevalence and enormous social and health impact. The different electrical neuromodulation techniques can be considered an effective and safe alternative for the treatment of these patients. In the present review, we deep from the etiological and pathophysiological in spinal pain, especially in the syndrome of failed spinal surgery. We describe the surgical implantation technique, its indications and results achieved until now. We will also summarize the possible mechanisms of action of different types of electrical neurostimulation. Finally, we will comment on the dificulties and inconvinients that did not allow this pain surgical alternative to become more widely used.
