Spinal Cord Stimulation and Treatment of Peripheral or Central Neuropathic Pain: Mechanisms and Clinical Application

<div>Schematic drawing shows the effects of spinal cord stimulation on nociceptive processing including segmental spinal inhibition, activation of descending inhibitory system, and cortical modulation. SCS: spinal cord stimulation; STT: spinothalamic tract; PAG: periaqueductal gray; RVM: ventrolateral medulla; DLF: dorsolateral funiculus.</div>
