Four psychiatric patients with SCS are described. All exhibited essential tremor, minimal cerebral dysfunctions, speech disorders, bradyphrenia, disorders of personality with psychasthenie and suspicious traits, restrictions, increased irritability and depressivity, one case of mutism due to abnormal reaction and one of alcohol hallucinosis. The possibility of cosmetic handicap caused by craniofacial dysplasia should be taken into mind and perhaps surgically corrected. Because the craniofacial dysplasia is mostly moderate and the syndactylies are slight the SCS remains often unrecognized, but apart from psychic maldevelopment it is significant as the result of frequent association with other malformations.

Neuroaugmentative and neuromodulation therapy continues to expand. New applications are being found for existing technology, such as the use of SCS therapy in the treatment of head pain. The potential impact of existing therapies is enhanced by new discoveries as exemplified by the availability and demonstrated efficacy of different pharmacologic agents and combinations of agents in intrathecal therapy [39]. Increased attention is being paid to cortical stimulation, including motor cortex stimulation and deep brain stimulation. We must, however, not let our fascination for gadgets betray sound sense. The role of psychosocial factors in the outcome of more "objective" and measurable problems, such as spasticity and tremor versus pain, remains an open area of investigation. Although psychologic issues may not be as prevalent in the amelioration of such problems, they may influence the patient's overall level of satisfaction with the therapy and improvement in quality of life.
