Changes in quantitative sensory testing and patient perspectives following spinal cord stimulation for persistent spinal pain syndrome: an observational study with long-term follow-up.
Abstract
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can impact sensory, pain and tolerance thresholds in various ways, which can be accessed via quantitative sensory testing (QST). The objectives of this study were to (1) assess the subjective sensory responses using QST in patients following SCS therapy for PSPS and (2) to get a clinical impression of the results of SCS during an interview of these patients with PSPS and SCS during long term follow-up.
