Summary

When patients suffer from chronic pain after multiple back surgeries, this is denominated as the 'failed back surgery syndrome'. A possible treatment for these patients is spinal cord stimulation. This is an invasive treatment where no other treatment options (medication, minimal invasive treaments) can offer progress to the patients' health status. In spinal cord stimulation, an electrode will be placed at the spinal cord under local anaesthesia whereas via a battery a painless electrical stimulation will arise. Clinical research have demonstrated that a new way of spinal cord stimulation can improve back and leg pain significantly. This will lead to a better quality of life for the patients and a decreased use of medications. In Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg, different manners of spinal cord stimulation will be compared to each other.
