Application of restorative neurostimulation for chronic mechanical low back pain in an older population with 2-year follow up
Authors' conclusion
Patients derived significant and clinically meaningful benefit in disability, pain and HRQoL. When compared with a similarly indicated cohort of younger patients, there were no statistically or clinically significant differences.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with chronic mechanical low back pain (LBP) refractory to conservative management treated with restorative neurostimulation (ReActiv8-B, ReActiv8-C, ReActiv8-PMCF)261 with complete 2-year follow-up
- Participants
- 65 vs 261
- Comparison
- Oldest quartile vs Entire population
- Oldest quartilen = 65
- Entire populationn = 261reference
- Outcome
- Change in disability (Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)) or pain score (NRS/VAS), proportion of patients per group
- Follow-up
- 2 years from device activation
