Neuropathic pain(NP)after spinal cord injury(SCI)is a refractory complication because it can be severely debilitating and lead to inactivity and psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.There has been no major breakthrough in the treatment of NP and previous studies focused on conservative treatment such as drugs.As an invasive method,spinal cord stimulation(SCS)has been gradu-ally accepted in clinic because of its definite effect and curative effect.However,the research is mainly concentrated in the field of lumbar and leg pain,and the application of upper limb pain after cervical spinal cord injury is few.This paper reports a case who received SCS treatment for upper extremity NP secondary to cervical SCI,and reviews the literature on the treatment of NP by SCS,providing reference for clinicians to handle this condition.
