Disclosures
• Investigator initiated research support
from Boston Scientific
• Concluded involvement in multicenter
trial for Medtronic supported research
3076681-2
Spinal Cord Stimulation
• Doesn’t always work
• Sometimes it works for a while, but
the patients seem to exhibit a
“tolerance”
• Are there neuro-humeral
combinations that might improve
SCS outcomes?
• Would combining different stim types
be helpful?
3076681-3
Multi-modal Analgesia
• Is combination therapy the future?
• If so, which combinations are the right
ones?

Possible Combinations

Stimulation

Which is greater: Parent,
offspring, or combination?
3076681-7
GABA-ergic Mechanisms
• Addition of baclofen, a GABA-b
agonist converts non-SCS responders
into responders
• Follow up study of combination of IT
baclofen with SCS in humans
Cui JG; Linderoth B; Meyerson BA. Effects of spinal cord
stimulation on touch-evoked allodynia involve GABAergic
mechanisms. An experimental study in the mononeuropathic
rat. Pain 1996; 66:287-95.
3076681-8
Cholinergic SCS Mechanism
• Basal release of acetylcholine (ACH)
reduced in nerve injured rats
• Response to SCS blocked by atropine
& antimuscarinic agents in rats
• SCS effect at least partially due to
cholinergic mechanisms
Schectmann G, Song Z,Ultenius C, Meyerson B,
Linderoth B. Pain 2008;139:136-45.
3076681-9
Cholinergic Mechanisms of SCS
• Responders to SCS release significantly
increased amount of acetylcholine in
response to SCS

Immune Modulation: Cytokine
Antagonists
Vallejo R, et al. Pain Practice 2010;10:167-84.
3076681-12
Perineural Clonidine
• Α-2 adrenoceptors cluster at sites of
peripheral nerve injury
• Perineural clonidine has prolonged
effect decreasing hyperalgesia
• Clonidine is immune modulator, i.e.
blocks cytokines (TNF-α), IL-1β, IL-6

Transforaminal Clonidine
RCT of transforaminal epidural (TFE) clonidine 200 or 400 mcg.
versus triamcinolone 40 mg.

Percutaneous PNS:
Procedural Prerequisites
• Ultrasound-guided nerve block ( clonidine
100-200 mcg. in 0.25% bupivacainecomplete or excellent relief
• Psychological screen (implant committee)
• Failed more conservative therapies
• Pain in one nerve distribution
• Capable of understanding system

Back Pain in a Post-laminectomy
Syndrome Patient
Which orientation of electrodes
is superior?
Is a wide spaced electrode better
than a closely spaced one?
How many leads is “reasonable”?
What is the mechanism of analgesia?
Is there a way to optimize location of
Leads?

Peripheral Field Stimulation
•
•
•
•
•
3 Cases of subcutaneous stim implant
SCFS for 1-2 hours/day: 12-24 hrs relief
Failed TCA’s, pregabalin, etc.
Patients had all failed TENS previously
Required low frequency 2-10 Hz, at low
amplitude (1-3 mA) and narrower pulse
widths (100 ms) than typical of SCS
• 1-3 year improvement in small series
Goroszeniuk T, Kothari S, Hamann W. Reg Anesth Pain Med 2006;31:168-71.

Subcutaneous Field Stimulation for
Back Pain
• Longstanding FBSS
• Predominately back pain
• Implanted subcutaneous peripheral
field stimulation electrodes in patients
back
• 1 Year outcome good

Combined PNFS and SCS
• 20 patients with combined back and leg pain
• Retrospective Chart Review
• Underwent simultaneous placement of
transverse PFS at site of maximal pain as
well as SCS, some after SCS alone failed to
relieve back pain
• Some leads placed at cluneal neuroma or
other sensitive scar sites

Interlead Communication:
“Crosstalk”
1) 20 patients; > 60% axial back pain
2) Epidural Octrode (guarded cathode)
3) perpendicular quadripolar SC lead at site of
greatest back pain (alternating
cathode/anode)
4) Programs: #1 Epidural octrode alone; #2
Subcutaneous lead alone; #3 Both leads
simultaneously
