A REVIEW ON ROLE OF PERIDURAL FIBROSIS AND ITS DIAGNOSIS

FBSS is a challenging clinical entity with significant impact on the individual and society. To better prevent and manage this condition, knowledge of the factors contributing to its development is necessary. While research on FBSS has increased in recent years, perhaps the best strategy to reduce incidence and morbidity is to focus on prevention. More radical treatments for FBSS have now been extensively studied providing doctors with much needed evidence on their efficacy. Incorporating these results into our current knowledge provides a basis on which to construct an evidence-based guide on how best to manage patients who suffer from FBSS. Keywords: Failed back surgery syndrome, spinal cord stimulation, therapeutic modalities and peridural fibrosis.
