Systematic Review
Does spinal cord stimulation improve symptoms, quality of life, and functional status in patients with chronic refractory angina pectoris?
Spinal cord stimulation provides strong symptomatic and functional benefits for patients with chronic refractory angina pectoris without negatively affecting mortality.
Börjesson et al. (2008) conducted a systematic review in Severe angina pectoris (chronic refractory angina pectoris). Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) was evaluated on Symptomatic benefits (decrease in anginal attacks), quality of life, and functional status. Spinal cord stimulation provides strong evidence for symptomatic benefits, improved quality of life, and enhanced functional status in patients with severe refractory angina pectoris.
