Indications
These devices are used for chronic pain, particularly in situations where pharmacological management or non-interventional techniques have failed.
The HAS (French National Authority for Health) recently reviewed the entire range of existing devices to more precisely define their indications. These appear to be limited to cases where other pain control methods have failed, making spinal cord neurostimulators last-resort devices.
Given the low level of available evidence, no clinical data allows for the differentiation of system indications based on their technical characteristics. It simply appears preferable to reserve rechargeable systems for patients with high energy consumption.
