  • Title: Electrical stimulation and the treatment of complex regional pain syndromes of the upper extremity.
    Author: Cooney WP.
    Journal: Hand Clin; 1997 Aug; 13(3):519-26. PubMed ID: 9279553.
    Abstract:
    Clinical, intractable pain in the upper extremity often results from neuroma, direct injury to a peripheral nerve, or repetitive operative insults to a peripheral nerve that has compressive neuropathy. Electrical stimulation applied directly to a single peripheral nerve can provide sufficient relief of pain, improve patient outlook, improve lasting sleep, release the individual from addictive narcotic pain medication, and restore a psychological sense of well-being.
