Scientific Abstract
Clinical and animal studies implicate neuroinflammatory features (interleukines, chemokines, adipokines, oxytocin, alarmins) as part of the pathophysiology. BurstDR-SCS and DRG-SCS stimulation present a paradigm shift in current neurostimulation to address the treatment of CPSP-associated pain. Such molecular analysis may underpin the emerging role of CPSP-related molecular patterns as potential biomarkers to reliably reproduce spinal stimulation effects.
