Surgical treatment of chronic pain & spasticity using my passion for neuromodulation to help more patients achieve substantial pain relief & better quality of life

🔹Ahead of print in Turk Neurosurg (2024): Gündüz et al. “Evaluating the Readability, Quality & Reliability of Online #PatientEducationMaterials (PEMs) on #SpinalCordStimulation“ 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/erpM_ZNn (DOI: 10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.42973-22.3) 🔹Evaluation of 114 websites providing PEMs on #SCS therapy & determining website typologies that provide highly reliable information about this #neuromodulation option: 👉🏼high quality 12, intermediate quality 5, low quality 97 👉🏼most of them were commercial or professional websites 👉🏼only 13%: JAMA score 3 or more (highly reliable) 👉🏼only 10.5% : high quality (GQS) 👉🏼only 6% had a HONcode presence (health portals); in 30% of the top 10 websites 🔹Considering that there are more commercial websites, it is not surprising that there are more websites that address indication & implantation topics but fewer websites with procedure explanation content. 🔹Information can be presented more effectively by using the suggested level of readability (6th-grade reading level). 🔹Healthcare practitioners should advise their patients to choose HONcode-compliant websites when looking for information regarding SCS. 🔹Congratulations to all co-authors: Dr. Dr. Enes Gündüz, Dr. Özduran & Dr. Volkan Hancı! #neurotech #medtech #rückenschmerzen #chronischeschmerzen #Uniklinik #Köln #UniklinikKöln #διέγερσηνωτιαίουμυελού #Rückenmarkstimulation #neurostimulator #schaufensterkrankheit #Raynaud #CRPS #diabetischepolyneuropathie #schmerzschrittmacher #spinalkordstimülasyonu #стимуляцияспинногомозга #脊髓刺激 #鞘内治疗 #χρόνιοςπόνος #νευροτροποποίηση #Nöromodülasyon #kronikağrı
