Summary

Differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation (DTM-SCS) is a cost-effective treatment for chronic low back pain compared to conventional SCS and conservative management. DTM-SCS offers better value for the UK health care system.

Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Pain Management
  • Medical Technology Assessment

Background:

  • Chronic intractable low back pain poses a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems.
  • Conventional spinal cord stimulation (C-SCS) and conservative medical management (CMM) are established treatment options.
  • Differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation (DTM-SCS) is a newer therapeutic modality for pain management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of DTM-SCS versus C-SCS and CMM for chronic low back pain.
  • To update a previously established economic model with recent clinical and cost data.
  • To assess the economic value from a UK National Health Service perspective.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid decision-tree and Markov model was utilized for the economic analysis.
  • The model simulated costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over a 15-year time horizon.
  • Sensitivity analyses (deterministic, one-way, and probabilistic) were conducted to assess parameter variability and uncertainty.

Main Results:

  • DTM-SCS was identified as the most cost-effective option, with an ICER of £6101 per QALY gained compared to CMM.
  • DTM-SCS demonstrated a higher incremental net benefit (£21,281) than C-SCS (£8551) versus CMM.
  • The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio between DTM-SCS and C-SCS was £897 per QALY gained, with a high probability of cost-effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Both DTM-SCS and C-SCS are cost-effective treatments for chronic low back pain compared to CMM.
  • DTM-SCS presents a more favorable incremental cost-effectiveness ratio than C-SCS.
  • Increased adoption of DTM-SCS within the UK healthcare system is recommended for managing chronic low back pain.
