Pain reduction through combined spinal cord stimulation and exercise therapy after spinal extradural arachnoid cystectomy: a case report
This case suggests that SCS may provide early pain relief, enabling initiation of structured exercise, associated with sustained pain reduction, improved pain modulation, and functional recovery. These observations suggest the SCS combined with exercise may be a useful option for selected patients with movement-limiting multifocal pain.
