BACKGROUND: @entity602 ( @entity602 ) is used for the treatment of chronic @entity9 , a notoriously difficult condition to treat. @entity11252 ( @entity11252 ) and @entity158 ( @entity158 ) remain the strongest indications. Funding remains a difficult issue and the use of trial of stimulation is the traditional method of ensuring best outcomes from implantation. METHODS: A retrospective and consecutive review of 80 cases of spinal cord stimulation for @entity1 with a diagnosis of @entity11252 and @entity158 having undergone prior comprehensive medical management and interventional treatment with no sustained benefit. Trial of stimulation was performed on-table and if acceptable coverage was achieved, the case proceeded to full implantation. RESULTS: The mean @entity1 age was 50.08 years (range 28-80 years). At 12 months follow-up, thirty two @entity1 (40%) no longer required analgesic medication. Thirty @entity1 (37.5%) reported their @entity158 was manageable with first line analgesics. Fourteen (17.5%) reported their @entity158 was manageable first line analgesic and occasional @entity1340 or @entity10425 . Four (5%) reported that their @entity158 was manageable with NSAID's, @entity1443 , @entity3659 , and regular @entity10425 or @entity1340 . Seventeen out of eighty @entity1 (21.25%) were unemployed before @entity602 implant, and at 12 months follow up eight of these @entity1 (47.05%) had returned to work. There was no infective complications or explants. Two @entity1 (2.53%) required one lead revision, which was successful. CONCLUSION: @entity602 is the most effective treatment for @entity11252 and @entity158 , which is proven resistant to medical management. On-table trial and implantation is easy to perform with good success rate and low morbidity and if successful will reduce complication rates, especially @entity281 .
