Objective Data From Patients With Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type <scp>II</scp> Implanted With Spinal Cord Stimulator

Persistent spinal pain syndrome Type 2 (PSPS Type 2) causes severe pain associated with limitations of physical activities and affects the emotional and social aspects of patients' lives. A study by Hamm-Faber et al. [1] conducted a study to investigate the feasibility of collecting objective data from an activity tracker and a neurostimulator device to evaluate physical activity. The authors also evaluated the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals. The authors concluded that the objective collection of data is feasible with a neuromodulation device and an activity tracker if the watch is correctly worn on the wrist or with clear instructions.
