Percutaneously Implanted Plates in Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

The Effect of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) on Static Balance and Gait

“…Another reason for the relative low VAS pain scores in the stimulation off condition could be the presence of a placebo effect after SCS surgery. However, the placebo effect of stimulation is difficult to evaluate because of the induced paraesthesias (17). To our knowledge, no other study reports the difference between stimulation on and off, usually only the pre‐ and post‐surgery situations are compared.…”

Long-Term Outcomes of Spinal Cord Stimulation With Percutaneously Introduced Paddle Leads in the Treatment of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome and Lumboischialgia

“…In the study by Vonhögen et al., a correlation analysis revealed that VAS scores for legs and back correlated negatively with baseline satisfaction and QOL, showing that better pain reduction results in improved satisfaction and QOL outcomes. They found improvements of 69% and 75% in satisfaction and QOL after one year compared with baseline . In the studies of de Vos et al.…”

“…Correlation analyses demonstrated that visual analog scale (VAS) (pre‐12 months) for legs and back correlated negatively with VAS pre‐12 months satisfaction and pre‐12 months QOL, revealing that the more pain reduction in legs and back, the more satisfaction and QOL patients have. Acute pain recordings showed that 40% of the patients experienced no pain postoperative .…”
