A prospective multidimensional assessment of the impact of payer type, insurance delays, psychological and clinical domains on response to 60-day peripheral nerve stimulation: 6-month outcomes
Insurance-related delays, high opioid burden, baseline disability and morbid obesity negatively influenced PNS outcomes, while psychological resilience conferred benefit. Delayed onset responders/high responders highlight the need for longitudinal follow-up and caution against premature discontinuation of PNS therapy.
