Background summary
Spinal cord stimulation has been used for several pathological conditions and
has proven to improve coronary, cerebral and peripheral blood circulation. In
this study we would like to investigate if spinal cord stimulation has an
effect on the cerebral blood flow (CBF). We postulate that the effect on the
CBF is caused by way of the sympathetic pathways. With electrical stimulation
of the neural structures in the cervical region we try to examine the influence
on the sympathetic pathways in order to improve the cerebral blood flow.
Study objective
Effect of SCS on CBF
Study design
Experimental (pilot)
Study burden and risks
The patient can experience slight discomfort caused by the headset used for the
TCD measurement. Due to a light increase in temperature of the skin the patient
can experience slight sweating.
