Systematic review demonstrates restorative neurostimulation improves pain and disability in chronic low back pain, suggesting cost-effectiveness in targeted interventions.
Restorative neurostimulation targeting multifidus dysfunction provides sustained, clinically meaningful improvements in pain, disability, and quality of life for patients with mechanical CLBP. Accurate phenotyping and use of International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, code M62.85 enable targeted intervention. Further research should focus on comparative effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and predictive biomarkers to optimize patient selection.
