Background Implanted spinal neuromodulation (SNMD) techniques are used in the treatment of refractory chronic pain. They involve the implantation of electrodes around the spinal cord (spinal cord stimulation (SCS)) or dorsal root ganglion (dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS)), and a pulse generator unit under the skin. Electrical stimulation is then used with the aim of reducing pain intensity. Objectives To evaluate the e@icacy, e@ectiveness, adverse events, and cost-e@ectiveness of implanted spinal neuromodulation interventions for people with chronic pain.
