- Aka targeted SCS,
- Aim
- Provide long-term and precise pain relief
- Especially in areas difficult to treat with other spinal cord neurostimulation
- Eg: localized areas of ankle or foot
- Pros
- Target specific areas without the paresthesia spreading due to body position changes
- The limited cerebral spinal fluid in the space prevents current from spreading and from stimulating the spinal cord or the ventral root.
- Key advantage over other techniques (compared to SCS or PNFS)
- Stable and consistent pain relief
- Technique
- Strategic placement of electrodes in neural foramen
- And limited fluid in the neural foramen
- Making it superior in certain challenging anatomical areas.
