Our case highlights successful pain management with SCS without compromising ICD function. Careful patient selection, low device settings, and ongoing monitoring are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes.enMedicineSpinal cord stimulationImplantable cardioverter-defibrillatorChronic painAnesthesiaStimulationChest painNeuropathic painSpinal cord stimulatorSpinal cord injurySpinal cord stimulation in a patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for managing chronic chest pain: a case report and literature reviewreview
