Neuromodulation Techniques for the Spine, a volume in the Atlas of Interventional Pain Management series, is a concise, practical guide that provides clinicians with detailed, step-by-step guidance on how to perform spinal nerve stimulation procedures for patients with chronic pain. This comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide offers expert coverage of how to deliver safe, accurate, and cost-effective pain relief to patients using all clinically useful imaging modalities, including ultrasound-guided techniques and fluoroscopy. With high-quality images and clear, authoritative guidance throughout, it shows exactly how to evaluate the causes of pain, identify the most promising stimulation technique, locate the site with precision, and deliver effective relief.
Offers a comprehensive overview of the latest techniques used in spinal neuromodulation.
Features clinically relevant anatomic drawings and radiologic images that provide step-by-step instruction on techniques.
Provides clear guidance on the risks and benefits, as well as indications and contraindications, for each procedure.
Covers key topics such as Spinal Cord Stimulation (percutaneous and paddle lead placements); Dorsal Root Ganglion; Dorsal Root Ganglion Implants; and Intrathecal Pump (implants, refills).
Includes easy-to-follow, templated content on patient selection, preoperative prep, and post-operative care.
Contains full-color line drawings, photographs, and ultrasound images that provide you with a firm grasp of the anatomy and equipment involved with each procedure.
Highlights potential pitfalls for each technique and offers clinical pearls on how to avoid them.
