Abstract

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy is an effective treatment for chronic pain, particularly in conditions such as postlaminectomy syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Rare case reports described significant weight loss in patients who underwent dorsal column SCS therapy for chronic pain. Recently, neuromodulation for obesity has become a novel field for research. We aimed to investigate weight trends among patients treated with SCS for chronic pain.
