Abstract: | Uncommon stimulation refers to the use of peripheral nerve and spinal cord stimulation for nontraditional applications. There
has been much interest recently with subcutaneous suboccipital stimulation for occipital neuralgia, sacral stimulation for
pelvic pain, trigeminal stimulation for trigeminal neuralgia, and spinal cord stimulation for angina and peripheral ischemia.
The indications and techniques used for accomplishing each method are discussed. |
