Default spinal cord stimulator for CRPS??

My 13-yo daughter has CRPS in her hand due to nerve damage caused from a chronic infection and multiple debridement surgeries. Is a spinal cord stimulator only for people with back pain? Will a spinal cord stimulator work for CRPS in a hand?
She has had 4 nerve blocks, out of a series of 6 and these don't seem to be providing great relief for what she has to go through. She has tried pain patches, which have not worked. She does not like taking pain meds, because she was on so many pills for 4 years fighting the infection.
She is an athlete and has had to stop playing volleyball and was forced to quit gymnastics a few years ago.
This is taking a psychological toll on her, as she does not want to have this pain for the rest of her life and does not want to get injections in her neck for the rest of her life, either. She has been depressed since her injection last week and I don't know what else to do for her.
Any suggestions????
