Abstract:Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of spinal cord stimulation on ischemic pain of lower limbs.Methods:19 patients with ischemic pain of lower limbs who met the inclusion criteria were treated with spinal cord stimulation.Visual analogue scale (VAS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), skin temperature change and adverse reactions before and after treatment were compared.Results:Among 19 patients, 17 underwent generator implantation. VAS scores at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after SCS were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05). PSQI at 3 months and 6 months after treatment were significantly different from that before treatment (P < 0.05).Temperature difference of lower limbs decreased significantly at 1 week after treatment compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05).No serious adverse reactions were observed.conclusion: SCS can improve the pain, sleep and microcirculation of lower limbs in patients with ischemic diseases of lower limbs, with less adverse reactions, and can be safely and effectively applied in clinical practice.
