ABSTRACT
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective therapy for chronic and intractable neuropathic pain. We present a case report of successful pain control using SCS implantation in a patient with chronic, intractable stump pain for 36 years. The patient lost his two legs under the knees during the Vietnam War and had an amputation. After that he suffered stump pain for 36 years due to recurrent neuroma even after neuroma excision was performed over 30 times. We inserted the dual percutaneous leads at the level of left T9 and right T10 in this patient and could get complete pain relief without any complications.
