Analysis of parameters for epidural spinal cord stimulation. 3. Topographical distribution of paresthesiae--a preliminary analysis of 266 combinations with contacts implanted in the midcervical and midthoracic vertebral levels.

Abstract:

:As a part of the systematic analysis of parameters involved in electrical epidural spinal cord stimulation therapy, distribution of paresthesiae in accordance with the position of contacts, as related to midline and vertebral level of contacts, was investigated. A preliminary analysis performed for 266 combinations having contacts implanted in the midcervical and low-thoracic vertebral levels showed that the topographical spread of the paresthesiae did not always cover the classical dermatomes. Significant paresthesiae spread was found as follows: C4-midline, unipolar combinations; the hand, forearm and upperarm, bipolar combinations; the hand, forearm; C4-lateral, unipolar combinations: the anterior shoulder, forearm, upper arm and hand, bipolar combinations: the hand, forearm and upper arm; T10-midline, unipolar combinations: the anterior and posterior of thigh, leg, knee, ankle and foot, bipolar combinations: the anterior and posterior thigh, leg, knee and foot; T10-lateral, unipolar combinations: the abdomen, anterior leg, knee and anterior thigh, bipolar combinations: the anterior thigh, anterior leg, knee and foot. This preliminary analysis suggests that more detailed studies would be worthwhile in the investigation of sensory responses to electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with epidural electrodes. Findings from such investigations could also be useful to extend our present anatomical knowledge of central and peripheral sensory neural structures.
