Kronik Agrida Nöromodölasyon Tedavileri ve Klinik Sonuçlar: Tek Merkez Deneyimi

Objective: Neuromodulation therapies are successful treatment options for pain raised from a variety of etiologies. Careful patient selection and multidisciplinary evaluation are essential to achieve the best outcome. We aimed to discuss the common indications of neuromodulation therapies, efficacy, and clinical outcomes of patient follow-up to 3 and 6 months. Methods: Twentytree patients completed the 6-month follow-up: four underwent cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS), sixteen had thoracic SCS, and three had sacral neuromodulation (SNS).
