A Novel Composite Metric for Predicting Patient Satisfaction With Spinal Cord Stimulation.

Dr Paul Verrills and other world-class neuromodulation experts: Dr Marc Russo, Danielle Santarelli PhD, Swati Gupta MS, Jessica Martin PhD and Brad Hershey MS generate a model predicting patient satisfaction using activity tolerance and pain intensity.

The objective was to identify relationships between clinical assessments of chronic pain to enable the generation of a multivariate model to predict patient satisfaction with spinal cord simulation (SCS) treatment.

The resulting research paper, 'A Novel Composite Metric for Predicting Patient Satisfaction With Spinal Cord Stimulation.' was published in Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, 20 November 2019. This is a subscription article.
