| Abstract: | Our experience in treating 10 patients with intractable pain with paraplegia employing percutaneous epidural or dorsal column stimulation is presented. Initial and long-term results in this group are contrasted with those of 9 patients with intractible post-amputation or post-traumatic neuroma pain. The successful results of neurostimulation treatment of peripheral nerve pain contrasts with the disappointing results in the treatment of paraplegic pain. |
