AbstractNerve stimulation is a reversible technique that is used successfully for the treatment of traumatic neuropathic pain, complex regional pain syndrome, and craniofacial neuropathic pain. Nerve field stimulation targets painful regions rather than a single nerve and has expanded indications, including axial low back pain. Appropriate patient education and motivation are crucial prior to surgery. Ongoing research is necessary to provide high-level evidence for the use of nerve stimulation. Most electrodes are primarily designed for spinal cord stimulation, hence the need to develop nerve electrodes dedicated for nerve stimulation.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
