Effects of spinal cord stimulation on voxel-based brain morphometry in patients with failed back surgery syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed for the first time that SCS is able to induce volumetric changes in gray and white matter, suggesting the reversibility of brain alterations after chronic pain treatment. SIGNIFICANCE: Volumetric brain alterations are observable after 3 months of subsensory SCS in FBSS patients. PMID: 32927213 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
