Recent studies show spinal cord stimulation for back pain is ineffective, leading to safety concerns and bans in Australia.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic back pain that involves implanting electrical devices to interfere with pain signals.
Recent research shows SCS is no more effective than a placebo for back pain, with risks including severe adverse events and the need for additional surgeries.
In Australia, a review by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has led to bans and restrictions on some SCS devices due to safety concerns.
With high costs and limited benefits, doctors advise patients to carefully weigh the risks and consider other treatment options.
