Abstract

The case of a 47 year old male that was assessed for readiness for a spinal cord stimulator trial procedure is presented to illustrate alternatives to narcotic medication treatment for chronic pain. An overview of the assessments administered is given. Twelve weeks of cognitive behavioral treatment is summarized. Summary comments highlighting the advantage of consideration of alternatives to narcotic prescriptions for chronic pain treatment are made.
