Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the treatment of various diseases in medical practice has been used for about 50 years. For the first time a report on the effectiveness of epidural stimulation of the spinal cord (SCS) was made in 1973 in order to reduce the spastic syndrome after the implantation of electrodes on the dorsal surface of the spinal cord with multiple sclerosis, accompanied by a pharmacoresistant pain syndrome.
