Just curious about other attending physicians' experiences with a particular subset of patients with FBSS: no major psychiatric comorbidities, predominantly axial back pain, no issues with pre-existing hardware that merit surgical correction, history of failure with procedures directed at levels adjacent to fusion (i.e., procedures directed at facets or epidural steroid injections), unresponsive to physical therapy, and refractory to pharmacotherapy.
Any long term success with SCS on this subset of patients? If so, what vendors are you using and are you opting exclusively for high frequency at this point? What are your long term outcomes?
Any thoughts or pearls of wisdom out there on this lovely subset of patients?
