Severe, persistent back pain following back surgery is often referred to as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). Conservative measures such as physiotherapy, back strengthening exercises, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and epidural steroids may be inadequate to alleviate pain. Spinal Cord Stimulators were implanted into two patients suffering from FBSS. Both patients responded successfully to spinal cord stimulation with reduction of pain and disability.
脊柱手术后出现的严重、持续性背痛通常被称为腰椎手术失败综合征（FBSS）。诸如物理治疗、背部强化锻炼、经皮电刺激神经疗法和硬膜外类固醇注射等保守治疗措施可能不足以缓解疼痛。对两名患有FBSS的患者植入了脊髓刺激器。两名患者对脊髓刺激均有成功反应，疼痛减轻，功能障碍缓解。
