Abstract

The article provides the results of treatment of patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis; a detailed analysis of the main components of pain syndrome, neurogenic intermittent claudication, and factors of patient disability has been carried out. The efficacy of volley and tonic neurostimulation has been compared, factors of the effectiveness of neurostimulation have been identified, and an algorithm for managing patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis with severe concomitant diseases that prevent decompressive surgery has been developed.
