VALDES LLERENA, Ricardo et al. Electric neuromodulation in the treatment of refractory pain. Placement of the first spinal stimulator in Cuba. Rev cuba anestesiol reanim [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.2  Epub 20-Jun-2022. ISSN 1726-6718.

Pain is a major cause of physical and emotional suffering. The management of patients with refractory chronic pain is a great challenge. The case is presented of a 19-year-old female patient with compressive radicular symptoms secondary to right L5-S1 disc herniation, who underwent L5-S1 discectomy with Caspar technique. After one month of evolution, she returned with the same symptoms. Despite multiple pharmacological therapies and interventional procedures, the neuropathic pain did not improve. After multiple studies and collective discussions, the possibility of placing a spinal neurostimulator was decided. After the procedure, the patient improved considerably with respect to her painful symptoms.

Palavras-chave : implantable neurostimulator; low back pain, neuropathic pain.
