title: [Neurostimulation procedures in refractory pain].
abstract: In the context of chronic pain, the technics of neuromodulation have a significative place especially when they are neuropathic with a precise selection of the indications according to the neurophysiological, anatomical and clinical data. The choice is essentially based upon the severity and the site of pain. They are totally conservative, adaptable and reversible but it is necessary to organize a very rigorous clinical and technical follow-up according to a multidisciplinary approach.
