Neuroestimulación medular: Nuestra experiencia / Spinal cord neurostimulation: Our experience

ABSTRACT

Objective. To review and to present our experience about the indications, technique and results with the use of epidural implantable pulse generator in the last 5 years. Description. The clinical reports of 11 patients implanted by our group were reviewed, obtaining data for the analysis of indications, technique employed, complications, average values of stimulation and results. Interventions. All the patients were treated by at least one of the members of the group, in different health centers, with similar techniques. Conclusions. In spite of the low number of cases, we thought that the rigorous selection of patients, the technique employed and the strict follow up contributed directly in the good results obtained.
