The Choice of Spinal Cord Stimulation vs Targeted Drug Delivery in the Management of Chronic Pain: Validation of an Outcomes Predictive Formula.
Authors
Mekhail N, Armanyous S, Templeton E, Prayson N, Saweris YAbstract
In 2020, Mekhail et al published a formula that predicted the likelihood of a successful outcome for those who undergo spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for long-term pain management, based on retrospectively collected clinical and demographic data from one major medical center. The aim of this study is to validate such a predictive formula, prospectively, in a cohort of patients from multiple medical practices that are more representative of real-life clinical practice.
