Schematic of historical perspective on pain modulation by spinal cord stimulation. Dorsal column stimulation results in direct presynaptic inhibition of small diameter sensory neurons and the activation of inhibitory interneurons producing an inhibitory effect on these neurons. Dorsal column stimulation also activates descending pain inhibitory pathways originating from the locus coeruleus and raphe nuclei.
