  • Title: [Long term effect of spinal cord stimulation in a patient with complex regional pain syndrome and phantom pain syndrome type 1 after amputation].
    Author: Enggaard TP, Scherer C, Nikolajsen L, Andersen C.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2008 Feb 04; 170(6):460. PubMed ID: 18252182.
    Abstract:
    The development of stump and phantom pain after limb amputation in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is very frequent. Stump pain is typically recurred CRPS and the possibilities for effective pharmacological pain relief are often limited. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has a well-documented pain relieving effect in patients with CRPS. This case story summarises the long term effect of SCS in a patient with CRPS after two amputations of the right leg. Pharmacological pain therapies as well as Guanethidine blockade were found to be ineffective.
