Neuromodulation therapies such as spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion, and peripheral nerve stimulation are used to treat chronic pain syndromes such as intractable back pain, diabetic neuropathy, spinal radiculopathies, and complex regional pain syndrome. Since the publication of the first edition over a decade ago, there has been unprecedented progress in understanding neuromodulation and technological advances in clinical applications. Spinal Cord Stimulation is intended as an essential guide to the clinical fundamentals required for safe and effective implantation of neuromodulation devices. Implantation of these devices is performed by physicians from various disciplines, requiring a multidisciplinary skill set that presents a challenge for surgical and non-surgical pain practitioners alike. This authoritative resource integrates the basic multidisciplinary information necessary for understanding spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) with up-to-date implantation techniques for clinicians to use in their daily practice. It also features updated advice for appropriate medical decision making, patient education, safe use of radiation, and managing adverse events, with new chapters dedicated toward DRG stimulation and PNS.

Neuromodulation implants are currently one of the most successful techniques in the treatment of chronic pain, a condition that affects more and more patients each year, leading to reduced quality of life as well as economic losses. Neuromodulation implants for pain are a relatively new technique and are being increasingly used around the globe. However, technical training is not available for every implanter as there are relatively few centers in the world. Further, refresher courses for low-rate implanters are not available. This book fills that gap by offering an update on the best techniques currently used, providing a step-by-step guide on how to perform these procedures correctly. Based on the experiences of leading physicians in the field, it also discusses how to manage both major and minor complications. Lastly, it covers the neuromodulatory intervention techniques used to treat chronic pain in various clinical areas. As such it is a valuable resource for pain physicians as well as neurosurgeons, orthopedists and anesthetists.

This book is a comprehensive, focused resource on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). This rapidly evolving field has created a demand for an up-to-date book such as this that builds on foundational concepts necessary to the practice of IOM in the context of anatomy and physiology. Each chapter is designed to not only inform the reader, but to also test the reader on the information presented - therefore promoting practical, problem-based learning. Surpassing the quality of its successful predecessor, Principles of Neurophysiological Assessment, Mapping, and Monitoring, Second Edition, is positioned to suit the needs of residents and fellows studying for the IOM certificate programs, physicians and anesthesiologists practicing IOM, and neurotechnologists both experienced and in training.
