Practice Parameters for the Use of Spinal Cord Stimulation in the Treatment of Chronic Neuropathic Pain
Satisfaction
Many clinicians and investigators believe that whether or not a patient would repeat SCS treatment to achieve the same result is a valid way to judge the outcome of the treatment, especially given the variable nature of pain and the elusive nature of pain memory. Patient satisfaction can only be determined from patient self-report.
