Effect of Restorative Neurostimulation on Major Drivers of Chronic Low Back Pain Economic Impact.

Authors

Shaffrey C, Gilligan C

Abstract

High-impact chronic low back pain (CLBP) correlates with high healthcare resource utilization. Therapies that can alter impact status may provide beneficial long-term economic benefits. An implantable restorative neurostimulation system (ReActiv8, Mainstay Medical) designed to over-ride multifidus inhibition to facilitate motor control restoration, thereby resolving mechanical low back pain symptoms, has shown significant durable clinical effects in moderately and severely impacted patients.
