Delphi Consensus Revealing the Thoughts of Pain Management and Referral Specialties on the Use of <scp>SCS</scp> for Chronic Back Pain Patients Not Suitable for Spine Surgery
Based on the agreement scores, the steering group agreed on seven key findings to consider for pain management in patients with chronic back pain who are not candidates for spine surgery. These findings are opinion-based and are meant to be a starting point to help identify appropriate patients who may benefit from SCS therapy and when an evaluation for SCS candidacy should be considered.
