Spinal Cord Stimulation Improves Pain and Quality of Life in Painful Diabetic Neuropathy: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials
Neuromodulation4/15/2026·04/15/26🌐 USA
Summary
This meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials evaluated spinal cord stimulation for painful diabetic neuropathy. SCS combined with conventional medical management showed significant improvements in pain intensity and quality of life compared to conventional therapy alone, without increased adverse events.
Why it matters
As painful diabetic neuropathy affects millions of patients with limited treatment options, this meta-analysis provides robust evidence supporting SCS as an adjunctive therapy. It may influence clinical guidelines and expand access to neuromodulation for this large patient population.
