Buerger's disease or obliterating thromboangiitis is an inflammatory pathologic condition affecting the distal vascular segments; it strikes young adults, especially males and heavy smokers. Medical and surgical treatment often fail to heal these patients, especially considering the frequent relapse of this disease linked with tobacco abuse—definitive healing often involves limb amputation. Electrical spinal cord stimulation is evaluated in this study with an analgesic aim and for improvement in skin microcirculation, with the goal of long-term healing of diseased limbs.
