The use of spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery in the treatment of low back-related pain

David Bagnall. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2010 Nov.

Abstract

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and intrathecal drug delivery (IDD) are forms of neuromodulation, meaning that they are reversible and nondestructive. SCS is generally limited to conditions such as radiculopathy and pain of CNS origin. IDD is primarily effective for nociceptive or mixed pain, and its usage is generally limited to conditions within that realm.
