Journal ArticleDOI

The cost effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of pain: a systematic review of the literature

Rod S Taylor, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is found that across a range of medical indications, the initial healthcare acquisition costs of SCS implantation are consistently offset by a reduction in post-implant healthcare resource demand and costs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The difference in blood pressure readings between arms and survival: primary care cohort study

Christopher E Clark, +3 more
- 20 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: Differences in systolic blood pressure between arms can predict an increased risk of cardiovascular events and all cause mortality over 10 years in people with hypertension, which could be a valuable indicator of increased cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain

Angela Mailis-Gagnon, +3 more
- 22 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: Although there is limited evidence in favour of SCS for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I, more trials are needed to confirm whether SCS is an effective treatment for certain types of chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
