A long-term follow-up of cauda equina stimulation for chronic pelvic pain – case report
According to our knowledge, this is the first report of a cauda equina stimulation for pelvic pain. This case is significant as it shows that the cauda equina roots could be used as a target for neuromodulation in the treatment of pain located within the pelvic region, as well as challenges in using this target and the potential role of paraesthesia-free modalities. It also suggests that this treatment could potentially improve autonomic symptoms.
