The impact of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) upon patients with chronic neurological disease appears to be primarily upon autonomic functions. There is clinical evidence of increased blood flow in the lower limbs. In the present study, cutaneous blood flow was measured by means of xenon clearance in the legs and feet of patients receiving SCS for chronic neurological disease. In 8 patients pre-SCS cutaneous blood flow was compared with that during SCS. In 7 out of the 8 patients there was an increase in total cutaneous blood flow during stimulation. The mean pre-SCS value was 2.43 +/- 1.57 ml per 100 g of tissue and this rose to 3.23 +/- 1.81 ml per 100 g of tissue per minute during stimulation. The possible mechanisms for the increased cutaneous blood flow are discussed.
脊髓刺激（SCS）对慢性神经疾病患者的影响似乎主要体现在自主神经功能方面。有临床证据表明下肢血流量增加。在本研究中，通过氙清除法测量了接受SCS治疗慢性神经疾病患者腿部和足部的皮肤血流量。对8例患者在SCS治疗前的皮肤血流量与治疗期间的进行了比较。8例患者中有7例在刺激期间总皮肤血流量增加。刺激前的平均数值为每100克组织2.43±1.57毫升，刺激期间升至每100克组织每分钟3.23±1.81毫升。文中讨论了皮肤血流量增加的可能机制。
