Abstract
Chronic refractory back pain causes significant disability and has a major negative impact on mental health. Few treatment options exist for chronic back pain patients who have failed conventional medical management (CMM) and who have not had and are not candidates for spine surgery, a condition we refer to as non-surgical refractory back pain (NSRBP). Access to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is inconsistent in this population due to limited clinical evidence.1 Twenty-four-month outcomes including a functional test is reported from a RCT that compared 10kHz SCS to CMM in the treatment of NSRBP.
