Utility of Electrical Neuromodulation for Treating Chronic Pain Syndromes in the Pediatric Setting : A Systematic Review
© 2021 International Neuromodulation Society..
OBJECTIVES: Chronic pain syndromes in children can carry significant threats to psychological well-being, opioid overuse, functional impairments, and severe disability. While several high-level studies, almost exclusively in adults, have demonstrated the utility of implantable electrical neuromodulation systems for treating various chronic pain syndromes, there exists a paucity of pediatric-specific evidence. Unfortunately, evidence and practice patterns established from adults may not be fully translatable to children given differences in disease manifestations and anatomical variances.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a systematic review using conventional PRISMA methodology to identify studies reporting use of implantable electrical neuromodulation systems in children. The primary outcome parameters collected were analgesic relief and functional benefits. Additionally, previous interventions attempted, neuromodulation parameters, and limitations were collected as reported.
RESULTS: A total of 11 studies was identified, which described 19 patients who were refractory to multidisciplinary pain management strategies. The cohort was mostly adolescent (18/19), suffered from CRPS (14/19), and received SCS (17/19). Nearly all patients, both those with CRPS (13/14) and non-CRPS conditions (4/4), reported significant pain relief and functional recovery following neuromodulation. There were no severe complications reported; limitations included suboptimal benefit or loss of analgesia (3/19), lead or device revision (3/19), and subcutaneous infection (1/19), all of which were congruent with adult outcomes.
CONCLUSION: There exist children with chronic pain refractory to standard of care approaches who could be considered for neuromodulation interventions. The existing data, which was limited and from a low tier of evidence, suggest that these interventions are relatively safe and provide meaningful pain reduction and functional improvements. While not previously reported, we recommend careful consideration of the pubertal growth spurt prior to device lead placement-if reasonable and appropriate-given the possibility of inferior lead migration with physiologic growth in patients with SCS devices or foraminal extrusion in patients with dorsal root ganglion stimulation devices.
