Chronic pain is a prevalent and debilitating problem for millions of people and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one option for treatment. It has been shown to have membrane stabilizing properties and is often used in conjunction with medications that are also believed to offer pain control through membrane stabilization.
The goal of this review is to analyze the effects of SCS combined with medications to evaluate for augmentative therapeutic effect.
Systematic review.
A systematic computerized search of the literature was conducted using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE for articles published in English.
We report three articles that discuss the potential for augmentative effects of medication in combination with SCS. Located articles related primarily to SCS combined with Gabapentin, TCA, or SNRI.
The limited number of articles reflects a need for more investigation in this area.
Based on the suspected mechanisms for SCS and neuromodulating medications, there is reason to believe adding these medical therapies may enhance the effects of SCS.
慢性疼痛是数百万人普遍存在且使人虚弱的问题,脊髓刺激(SCS)是一种治疗选择。它已被证明具有稳定细胞膜的特性,并且经常与被认为通过稳定细胞膜来提供疼痛控制的药物一起使用。
本综述的目的是分析 SCS 与药物联合使用的效果,以评估增强治疗效果。
系统评价。
使用 PubMed、Cochrane 图书馆和 EMBASE 对发表在英语中的文献进行了系统的计算机检索。
我们报告了三篇讨论药物与 SCS 联合使用的潜在增效作用的文章。所涉及的文章主要与 SCS 联合加巴喷丁、三环抗抑郁药或 SNRI 有关。
文章数量有限反映了在这一领域需要更多的研究。
基于 SCS 和神经调节药物的可疑机制,有理由相信添加这些医学治疗方法可能会增强 SCS 的效果。
