    Electrical stimulation (e.s.) effectively treated chronic low-back pain in 367 patients. Approximately 70% of patients experienced sustained pain relief 6-36 months post-treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pain Management
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic low-back pain affects a significant patient population.
    • Conventional treatments for chronic low-back pain have limitations.
    • Electrical stimulation (e.s.) is an alternative therapeutic modality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of electrical stimulation (e.s.) for chronic low-back pain.
    • To assess long-term pain relief following e.s. treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 367 patients with chronic low-back pain received electrical stimulation (e.s.).
    • Patients included had conditions such as herniated disc lesions and spondylitis.
    • A follow-up study was conducted on 208 patients 6-36 months later.

    Main Results:

    • 53% of patients reported 75-100% pain relief after e.s.
    • 27% of patients experienced 50% pain relief.
    • 20% of patients showed no improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Electrical stimulation (e.s.) provides significant short-term pain relief for chronic low-back pain.
    • Long-term follow-up indicates sustained benefits for approximately 70% of patients.
    • E.s. is a viable treatment option for specific chronic low-back pain conditions.
