A new study in Pain Physician highlights the potential benefits of remote therapeutic monitoring in pain management.
I implanted a spinal cord stimulator (SCS), and the person did not return to clinic. Am I missing something here? Via their cross-sectional study, co-first authors Kyle Kang, Mike Glicksman, Johnson Ho, Kevin Hoang, M.D. and Anh T. Phung, MD, Sravya M, Jamal Hasoon, Cyrus Yazdi M.D., Alexandra Fonseca, MD, Alan Kaye, Michael Schatman, and Jatinder Gill delve into the reasons for why patients do not return to the clinic after an SCS has been implanted. https://lnkd.in/eVr2qRq5 One potential solution to this problem of lost to follow up is remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM). Will RTM be the next big advancement in pain management or will constant updates inundate the clinician? Only time (and research) will tell. Keep an eye out for more on RTM. Thank you, Dr. Thomas Simopoulos, M.D., for your dedication to the neuromodulation field, inspiring the next generation of neuromodulation nerds 🤓 , and making this study happen.
