Spinal cord stimulation eases diabetic neuropathy pain: study
Trial in patients with refractory neuropathy provides level 1 evidence, researchers say
High-frequency spinal cord stimulation can provide meaningful relief for patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy who fail conventional management, US researchers say.
In the SENZA-PDN randomised controlled trial, nearly four out of five patients had substantial pain relief three months after starting treatment with a 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation device than when managed with conventional medical treatment.
