As reported in 39 papers, improved neurological functions did occur in 45 to 64% of 1,008 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injury (SCI), cerebral palsy and other dystonic and ...

Attrition with spinal cord stimulation.

The aim of this prospective study was to investigate whether spinal cord stimulation (SCS) significantly reduces pain intensity for up to 18-month follow-up in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. Forty-eight patients were recruited. Patients rated their pain using a Visual analog scale (VAS) and pain-related disability using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at baseline (1 week prior to S...
