ABSTRACT:
A method of managing chronic pain produced by a variety of disorders or conditions which afflict the pelvic region and which is transmitted through the lumbosacral region of the human body. The method includes techniques for positioning one or more stimulation leads within or about the sacrum to enable electrical energy to be applied to spinal nervous tissue, including nerve roots, to inhibit the transmission of pain.
