Real-world two-year durability of restorative neurostimulation for treatment of multifidus dysfunction in patients with chronic low back pain: an observational German cohort study

This two-year real-world analysis of German patients with CLBP due to multifidus dysfunction treated with restorative neurostimulation showed sustained improvements in pain and function. Patients with mixed pain responded similarly to those with predominantly nociceptive pain, though supplemental conservative strategies may be needed to optimize functional recovery.

Abstract

This two-year real-world analysis of German patients with CLBP due to multifidus dysfunction treated with restorative neurostimulation showed sustained improvements in pain and function. Patients with mixed pain responded similarly to those with predominantly nociceptive pain, though supplemental conservative strategies may be needed to optimize functional recovery.
