Case ReportsSubcutaneous neuromodulating implant targeted at the site of pain.
Primary afferent stimulation for the control of chronic pain frequently offers the optimal compromise for the control of intractable pain. We describe a new access route directly to the site of pain (target) in the form of subcutaneous targeted neurostimulation (STN) via a percutaneous permanent neurostimulating implant. ⋯ The introduction of an STN directly to painful areas, therefore bypassing the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, is a novel and simple procedure that is effective, in this small series, for control of intractable pain consistent with neuropathic pain.
