Much like with the lumbar and thoracic spine, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) of the cervical spine may be used to treat a variety of neuropathic pain conditions of the neck and upper extremities. However, anatomical considerations unique to the cervical spine may present challenges to the interventional pain physician. This chapter discusses the relevant anatomy, describes the technique for cervical epidural lead placement and trialing, and suggests ways to minimize risks of complications.
