Efficacy of intrathecal bupivacaine: how important is the flow rate?
TL;DR: The addition of small, presumably negligible bolus doses on top of the continuous infusion resulted in spectacular pain control, clear thermoanalgesic suspended block, and in one of the patients, significant hypotension.

Neurostimulation technology for the treatment of chronic pain: a focus on spinal cord stimulation.
TL;DR: The stimulation of the dorsal column has been remarkably successful in relieving pain and improving function in patients who have failed conventional management and the evidence for efficacy remains unsatisfactory.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Management of Refractory Angina Pectoris
TL;DR: Control studies suggest that in patients with chronic refractory angina, SCS provides symptomatic relief that is equivalent to that provided by surgical or endovascular reperfusion procedures, but with a lower rate of complications and rehospitalization.

TL;DR: The objective of this study was to establish a recordskeeping procedure that can be used to identify and characterize the components of the intrathecal pump that are involved in the development of central nervous system problems.

Effects of flow rate modifications on reported analgesia and quality of life in chronic pain patients treated with continuous intrathecal drug therapy.

TL;DR: The quality of life and the analgesia of a constant daily dose of intrathecal drug administered at different flow rates in patients treated for chronic pain are compared to suggest that at higher flow rates increased drug dilution results in a decreased effect at the receptor site.
