Invasive neuromodulation reduces diabetic neuropathy pain: study
But medical approaches to pain relief should be tried first, expert says
Tonic spinal cord stimulation (t-SCS) can help relieve pain from diabetic neuropathy, and some newer neuromodulation therapies also have potential, a systematic review and meta-analysis suggest.
UK researchers examined data from 15 previously published studies that looked at pain outcomes for people with diabetic neuropathy who received different types of invasive neuromodulation.
