Summary
This study tested an online tool designed to help doctors decide which patients with chronic pain are good candidates for spinal cord stimulation. About 80 adults with conditions like failed back surgery syndrome or complex regional pain syndrome took part. The tool's recommendations were compared to the doctors' own judgments to see how well they agreed.
