{Reference Type}: Case Reports {Title}: Extraforaminal Thoracic and Lumbar Spinal Nerve Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation. {Author}: Gargya A;Singh H;Lin T;Gulati A; {Journal}: Pain Med {Volume}: 21 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 08 2020 1 {Factor}: 3.637 {DOI}: 10.1093/pm/pnaa166 {Abstract}: Peripheral nerve stimulation provides targeted stimulation and pain relief within a specific nerve distribution. This technical case report provides a method to perform selective nerve root stimulation of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves using ultrasonography.
Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve stimulation of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves allows better visualization of soft tissue anatomy and planning of needle trajectory.
Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve stimulation procedures may provide a safer method for neurostimulation lead placement when compared with fluoroscopic-guided techniques.
