Spinal zaps tested for rare back pain cause

This small study tested whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can reduce pain in people with back and leg pain from a condition called epidural lipomatosis, where extra fatty tissue narrows the spinal canal. Three adults with chronic pain received the implant and were followed for 6 weeks. The main goal was to see if pain scores improved. This was a very early, exploratory study with no control group.
