📢 Is "Restorative Neurostimulation" for Back Pain Effective? Yes. A five-year longitudinal study, led by several of our esteemed colleagues, explored the effectiveness of stimulating specific spinal nerves affecting the multifidus muscle. https://lnkd.in/gHPKntS8 👉Pearls: • Significant Pain Reduction: After five years, participants' average low back pain score dropped from 7.3 to 2.4 (on a 10 cm scale), with about 72% experiencing at least a 50% decrease in pain. • Improved Disability: The Oswestry Disability Index (a measure of disability due to back pain) improved significantly, going from 39.1 to 16.5. Around 61% of participants saw their scores improve by at least 20 points. • Better Quality of Life: The EQ-5D-5L index (a measure of health-related quality of life) improved from 0.585 to 0.807. • Reduced Opioid Use: Among those on opioids at the start, 46% stopped using them, and 23% reduced their intake by the five-year mark. • Safe and Effective: The treatment was safe, with no lead migrations reported, and compared favorably to other neurostimulator treatments for back pain. • Consistent Results: Even when using a more complex statistical model, the improvements and their significance were consistent.
