Area of Science:

  • Neuromodulation
  • Pain Management
  • Medical Litigation

Background:

  • Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a therapeutic option for chronic pain.
  • The consenting process for SCS is critical for patient outcomes.
  • Complications associated with SCS can lead to significant legal and financial consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of the consenting process in Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) therapy.
  • To review the potential complications and effects associated with SCS.
  • To discuss the financial implications of SCS-related litigation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on SCS consenting and complications.
  • Analysis of litigation data related to SCS and Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) stimulation.
  • Case study review of pain medicine claims.

Main Results:

  • Litigation for SCS/DRG complications is costly, with average settlements around $303,173 in the USA.
  • Between 1990-2013, 43 out of 10,546 pain medicine claims in the US were linked to SCS complications.
  • Effective consenting is crucial for aligning patient expectations with SCS outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Thorough patient consenting is paramount in SCS therapy.
  • Understanding and communicating potential SCS complications can reduce litigation risks.
  • The financial impact of SCS-related complications underscores the need for robust informed consent procedures.
