Dorsal column stimulation was undertaken in 10 patients referred to the Pain Relief Clinic for management of otherwise intractable angina pectoris. All patients were on maximal medical therapy and were determined to be unsuitable for coronary artery revascularization by the referring cardiologists. Dorsal column stimulation was beneficial in all patients by decreasing the frequency and severity of anginal attacks. The mechanism of action of dorsal column stimulation in this condition is uncertain.
对10名转诊至疼痛缓解诊所治疗其他方法难以控制的心绞痛患者进行了脊髓后柱刺激。所有患者均接受了最大程度的药物治疗，经转诊的心脏病专家判定他们不适合进行冠状动脉血运重建。脊髓后柱刺激对所有患者均有益，可减少心绞痛发作的频率和严重程度。脊髓后柱刺激在这种情况下的作用机制尚不清楚。
