Abstract
Good to excellent relief of phantom pain is reported in 5 of 6 patients by the use of dorsal column stimulation. Follow-up periods are 7 to 25 months. One failure occurred despite excellent pain relief; this patient could not tolerate application of the DCS apparatus to his chest wall. The authors review the physiology involved and some less successful series reported by others.Entities:
