Implication

Randomized trial shows improved stimulation comfort and pain relief in patients using closed-loop spinal cord stimulation, indicating its effectiveness.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of closed-loop spinal cord stimulation in enhancing patient comfort and pain relief over a 12-month period.
Multicenter, prospective, single-arm study
Randomized in-clinic crossover testing
Primary outcome assessed was overstimulation rates during movements
Patients using closed-loop SCS reported lower overstimulation rates (median 0.4) compared to open-loop SCS (median 3)
85% of participants felt comfortable performing physical activities during therapy
Pain intensity decreased by 60 mm from baseline, with 78% of participants achieving at least 50% pain relief
