TI  - Efficacy of spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain following idiopathic 
      acute transverse myelitis: a case report.
PG  - 125-7
AB  - Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) involves the electrical stimulation of dorsal 
      structures within the spinal cord, and is the most widespread application of 
      neurostimulation for the relief of chronic pain. Idiopathic acute transverse 
      myelitis (IATM) is an acute monophasic lesion of the spinal cord that presents 
      with symptoms associated with loss of cord function. The incidence of chronic 
      pain secondary to this condition is unknown, but is considered rare. We report 
      the efficacy of SCS for relief of severe neuropathic pain in both lower limbs 
      secondary to IATM, which had failed to respond to conventional pain therapies.
