Failed Back Surgery Syndrome or FBSS
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome or FBSS – is technically not an actual syndrome but a general term that describes patients that continue to suffer from pain following one or multiple back or spine surgeries. There are a variety of reasons that pain could exist following a surgery including: failure to treat the underlying cause of pain, scar tissue, or nerve damage. When an initial surgery fails to provide pain relief, future surgeries are less likely to produce the relief patients are seeking.
Next Steps?
For patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, spinal cord stimulation is, in many cases, an attractive alternative. Spinal cord stimulation directs mild electrical pulses to interfere with signals of pain in patients. This therapy involves a trial procedure, where the patient is able to determine whether the therapy will work to resolve their pain. Contact us or schedule an appointment today to discuss this therapy.
