POSA120 Healthcare Resource Utilization in Patients with Painful Diabetic Neuropathy Treated with 10-Khz Spinal Cord Stimulation: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) affects around 20% of people with diabetes and is associated with higher healthcare resource utilization (HRU) compared with non-PDN patients with diabetes (Mehra 2014; Kiyani 2020). Conventional medical management (CMM) includes pharmacotherapy, which has limited efficacy and adverse side effects. High-frequency 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has demonstrated significant pain reduction in individuals with refractory PDN in a safe and effective manner (Petersen 2021).
