- Abstract
An editorial is presented critiquing the Cochrane review on spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for low back pain, highlighting methodological flaws and limitations that restrict the generalizability of its findings. Topics discussed include population discrepancies, intervention modalities, comparators, outcomes, study design issues, and the exclusion of relevant evidence, pointing out the need for more well-designed trials to effectively evaluate the efficacy of SCS in clinical practice.
