Abstract
Previous studies have shown spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to be cost-effective in comparison to conventional medical management (CMM) in persistent back and leg pain following spine surgery (1), but this has not been studied in patients with chronic neuropathic and refractory back pain who do not respond to CMM and have no history of and are not good candidates for spine surgery, a condition we term non-surgical refractory back pain (NSRBP). This is the first randomized controlled study (RCT) to prospectively gather health care utilization (HCU) information in the NSRBP population.
