BACKGROUND Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) uses unique electric stimulation parameters to selectively treat specific regions of chronic or refractory back pain. Changing these parameters can lead to spreading paresthesia and/or pain beyond the desired region. OBSERVATIONS A patient with a history of stable, successful SCS treatment presented with acute development of paresthesias that were relieved by reduction of stimulation parameters. The patient required paradoxically lower SCS settings for control of chronic back pain. This presentation prompted further investigation, which revealed a new disc protrusion and cord compression at the level of the paddle lead. LESSONS In patients with SCS, a new onset of back pain accompanied by acute paresthesia that is reversible by reducing the SCS amplitude warrants investigation for new spine pathology.

Spinal cord stimulation for naive back pain is a therapeutic option that is rarely considered, especially when conventional stimulation parameters are used. Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program is another less feasible but effective therapeutic approach for the management of chronic pain that is not usually used in conjunction with interventional procedures.This case report presents a successful integration of an interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program with an interventional procedure spinal cord stimulation using conventional stimulation parameters in a patient with chronic, predominantly nociceptive to nociplastic, naïve back pain.
