| Popis: | The Gate Control Theory of pain proposed that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord or other nerve structures can produce pain relief. Therapies involving electrical stimulation of various nerve structures are now an option for chronic pain sufferers, particularly for neuropathic pain conditions. For many difficult-to-treat chronic pain conditions that are neuropathic in nature, including post-laminectomy syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome, it has shown to be the most effective treatment option available. |
