The effect of baseline spinal magnetic resonance imaging features on restorative neurostimulation efficacy in patients with chronic low back pain
Results indicate that, in a population of cLBP patients, existing lumbar spinal degeneration did not influence the effect of the neurostimulation therapy on PROs. Thus, the presence of mild and moderate lumbar spinal degeneration does not appear to be a contraindication for implantable multifidus neurostimulation, including patients with grade I spondylolisthesis.
