Artificial Intelligence for Predicting Clinical Outcomes in Interventional Pain Medicine for Spine Disorders: A Systematic Review.

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-based prediction models in interventional pain medicine for spine disorders.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing AI clinical prediction models.
• Focused on models specifically related to epidural steroid injections and spinal cord stimulators.
• Assessed model performance and the need for external validation.
• AI models are currently limited to predicting outcomes for epidural steroid injections and spinal cord stimulators.
• The review emphasizes insufficient model performance and generalizability before clinical use.
