Percutaneous trial case for complex regional pain syndrome

Abstract Spinal cord stimulation can provide significant pain relief for patients in the chronic stages of complex regional pain syndrome. Percutaneous temporary trials can provide very important prognostic insight as to whether a patient will benefit from the permanent procedure. However, there are careful patient, anatomic and trial details that must be considered in order to ensure an appropriate, safe, and accurate temporary evaluation of spinal cord stimulation therapy.
