sorry about that. autocorrect sucks. SCS insertion is only for specific types of neuro pain in the periphery. It is not an effective therapy for full body nerve/neuro pain such as fibromyalgia. PCPs and ortho docs are trying to use SCS in capacities for which they are not approved or designed for... beware of it! Drug reps and pain specialists know what the DRG SCSs and regular SCSs are designed for and that is the PERIPHERY. They may be useful and treat pain in the distant neuro pain (otherwise known as nerve psychological pain found in quadriplegia but its not often effective.
