SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT WITH SPINAL CORD STIMULATION IN A PATIENT WITH TESTICULAR TORSION: CASE REPORT

RESUMO

Chronic testicular pain is defined as constant or intermittent pain in the testicle lasting three months or more, which generates impairment in patients' daily activities. For those who do not respond to conservative treatment and nerve blocks in the spinal, a good option is to use electrode implants.
We can state that peripheral neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain that occurs when there is injury or damage to the somatosensory system, which persists for longer than 3 months or remains for more than 1 month after the resolution of an acute tissue injury. In this case report, we will describe a young patient who presented testicular torsion and evolved with peripheral neuropathic pain, undergoing treatment with implantation of a spinal cord stimulation electrode. With this report, we want to describe the qualitative outcome of the patient with chronic testicular pain treated with a spinal electrode.
