The Long ‐Term Response to High‐Dose Spinal Cord Stimulation in Patients With Failed Back Surgery Syndrome After Conversion From Standard Spinal Cord Stimulation: An Effectiveness and Prediction Study

ConclusionsConverting patients with unsatisfactory responses from standard SCS to HD ‐SCS may be an effective strategy to obtain and maintain pain relief in a challenging subgroup of patients with FBSS refractory to standard SCS. The prediction models may guide clinicians in their decision making when considering conversion to HD‐SCS in patients with FBSS experiencing inadequate response to standard SCS.
