Abstract

Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI) is common and often refractory to treatment. Scrambler Therapy (ST) is a noninvasive neuromodulation approach that delivers synthetic "nonpain" signals via cutaneous electrodes. We report 2 cases of SCI-related neuropathic pain treated with ST. One patient experienced transient and inconsistent relief, while the other achieved substantial, durable improvement with functional recovery and complete response after retreatment. ST was well tolerated with minimal adverse effects. These cases highlight variable response and support further study of ST as a potential treatment for refractory SCI-related neuropathic pain.

扰频器治疗脊髓损伤后神经性疼痛2例报告。

脊髓损伤（SCI）后神经性疼痛是一种常见的难治性疼痛。扰频器疗法（ST）是一种无创神经调节方法，通过皮肤电极传递合成的“无痛”信号。我们报告了2例经st治疗的sci相关神经性疼痛患者，其中1例患者经历了短暂且不一致的缓解，而另1例患者在再次治疗后获得了实质性的、持久的改善，功能恢复和完全缓解。ST耐受性良好，副作用最小。这些病例突出了不同的反应，并支持进一步研究ST作为难治性sci相关神经性疼痛的潜在治疗方法。
