About this Research Topic
Managing cancer-related chronic pain is a challenging task. Management of cancer related pain historically consisted of medical management, largely with opioids and adjuncts, however with recent advances in neuromodulation (spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), there are more options and hope on the horizon.
The goal of this Research Topic is to bring together a collection of papers that individually and collectively used neuromodulation in treatment of cancer pain. In doing so, we want to identify the different neuromodulation therapies which are helping in targeting different types of cancer pains.
We Welcome the submission of manuscripts including, but not limited to, the following topics: Special focus will be given (but not restricted) to:
1. Use of Spinal cord stimulator for treatment of cancer pain
2. Stimulation of dorsal root ganglion for treatment of cancer pain
3. Use of peripheral nerve stimulation for treatment of cancer pain
