Spinal cord stimulation has been used in the treatment of many chronic pain disorders since 1967. In this update, the indications for spinal cord stimulation are reviewed with attention to recent publications. A focused review of the literature on abdominal and visceral pain syndromes is also provided. Furthermore, the technology has evolved from the use of monopolar electrodes to complex electrode arrays. Similarly, the power source has changed from a radio frequency-driven system to a rechargeable impulse generator. These topics are covered, along with a short discussion of implant technique. Finally, we include a review of complications of such therapy. SCS as a technology and therapy continues to evolve.
自1967年以来，脊髓刺激已被用于治疗多种慢性疼痛疾病。在本次更新中，我们回顾了脊髓刺激的适应症，并关注近期的相关出版物。同时还对腹部和内脏疼痛综合征的文献进行了重点综述。此外，该技术已从使用单极电极发展到复杂的电极阵列。同样，电源也从射频驱动系统转变为可充电脉冲发生器。本文涵盖了这些主题，并对植入技术进行了简短讨论。最后，我们对这种治疗的并发症进行了综述。脊髓刺激作为一种技术和治疗方法仍在不断发展。
