The Predictive Value of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Patient Selection in Peripheral Nerve Field Stimulation for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Prospective Study

ConclusionTENS can be predictive for patient selection in PNFS, as TENS positive patients showed significant correlation with a positive PNFS trial period. Therefore, TENS positive patients might be justifiable to be directly implanted with leads and IPG. TENS positive patients further tend to show a better improvement in the follow-up.
