Does Fibromyalgia Affect the Outcomes of Spinal Cord Stimulation: An 11-Year, Multicenter, Retrospective Matched Cohort Study.

Authors

Abstract

Fibromyalgia is a prevalent disorder manifesting with widespread musculoskeletal pain and central sensitization, as well as fatigue, sleep issues, psychologic distress, and poor quality of life. Patients with fibromyalgia also may be diagnosed with other painful conditions amenable to treatment with spinal cord stimulation (SCS), although it is unclear how these patients respond to SCS compared with patients without fibromyalgia.
