SCS is typically recommended for people who have chronic pain that has not responded to other treatments.
SCS is most effective for pain that is localized to a specific area of the body, such as the back, legs, or arms.
SCS is typically not the first-line treatment for chronic pain, so a good candidate is someone who has tried other treatments such as physical therapy, medications, and injections with little or no relief.
SCS may be an option for people who have had surgery for their chronic pain but still experience discomfort.
Before undergoing SCS, a person must be evaluated by a pain specialist to determine if they are a good candidate and to ensure that the procedure is appropriate for their condition.
