The primary indications for SCS therapy are post-laminectomy syndrome as well as complex regional pain syndrome. SCS therapy is minimally invasive and reversible. It involves the implantation of percutaneous or paddle leads along with a surgically implanted pulse generator (IPG). Severe pocket pain from the IPG is a well-known complication following SCS implants that can be challenging to treat and can lead to an explant of the SCS system. We present the case of a patient with post-laminectomy syndrome who underwent an explant of her SCS system due to severe pocket pain complaints. The patient was successfully reimplanted with a Nalu micro-implantable pulse generator for SCS therapy with 75% improvement in her post-laminectomy pain complaints with no complaints of pocket pain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.52965\/001c.35326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T02:49:20Z","timestamp":1653965360000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Restoring Successful Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy for a Patient with Severe Pocket Pain Utilizing Nalu Micro-Implantable Pulse Generator"],"prefix":"10.52965","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8227-1864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamal","family":"Hasoon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Specialists of America"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Urits","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center; Southcoast Physicians Group Pain Medicine, Southcoast Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed","family":"Mahmood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School","department":["Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan D.","family":"Kaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03151rh82","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport","department":["Department of Anesthesiology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"30777","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1219","DOI":"10.1093\/pm\/pnx237","article-title":"Long-Term Improvements in Chronic Axial Low Back Pain Patients Without Previous Spinal Surgery: A Cohort Analysis of 10-kHz High-Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation over 36 Months","volume":"19","author":"Adnan Al-Kaisy","year":"2018","journal-title":"Pain Medicine","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/1526-2375","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"5","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.5114\/ait.2020.101043","article-title":"Treatment options for patients suffering from failed back surgery syndrome","volume":"52","author":"Jamal Hasoon","year":"2020","journal-title":"Anaesthesiology Intensive Therapy","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/1642-5758","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e113089","DOI":"10.5812\/aapm.113089","article-title":"Improved Pain Control with Combination Spinal Cord Stimulator Therapy Utilizing Sub-perception and Traditional Paresthesia Based Waveforms: A Pilot Study","volume":"11","author":"A.A.
