Krishna Kumar,Rod S Taylor,Line Jacques,Sam Eldabe,Mario Meglio,Joan Molet,Simon Thomson,Jim O'Callaghan,Elon Eisenberg,Germain Milbouw,Eric Buchser,Gianpaolo Fortini,Jonathan Richardson,Richard B. North +13 more
TL;DR: In selected patients with FBSS, SCS provides better pain relief and improves health‐related quality of life and functional capacity compared with CMM alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of spinal cord stimulation in neuropathic pain are sustained: a 24-month follow-up of the prospective randomized controlled multicenter trial of the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation.
Krishna Kumar,Rod S Taylor,Line Jacques,Sam Eldabe,Mario Meglio,Joan Molet,Simon Thomson,Jim O'Callaghan,Elon Eisenberg,Germain Milbouw,Eric Buchser,Gianpaolo Fortini,Jonathan Richardson,Richard B. North +13 more
TL;DR: The results of the 6-month Prospective Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial of the Effectiveness of Spinal Cord Stimulation (i.e., PROCESS) showed that SCS offered superior pain relief, health-related quality of life, and functional capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal cord stimulation in treatment of chronic benign pain: challenges in treatment planning and present status, a 22-year experience.
TL;DR: Spinal cord stimulation can provide significant long-term pain relief with improved quality of life and employment and will be effective in better defining prognostic factors and reducing complications leading to higher success rates with spinal cord stimulation.

TL;DR: The Neuromodulation Appropriateness Consensus Committee (NACC) of the International Neurodulation Society evaluated evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of neurostimulation to treat chronic pain, chronic critical limb ischemia, and refractory angina and recommended appropriate clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal epidural abscess.
Krishna Kumar,Gary R. Hunter +1 more
TL;DR: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, muscle strength at time of admission, and timing of intervention were found to have a statistically significant relationship with outcome, and c-reactive protein, comorbidities, age, sex, and degree of thecal sac compression were discovered to have no prognostic value.
