Summary

This small study tested whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce back and leg pain in people with lumbar spinal stenosis caused by epidural lipomatosis (fatty tissue buildup). Three adults with chronic pain received the device and were followed for 6 weeks. The main goal was to see if pain scores improved, with a focus on safety and disability changes.
