| Abstract: | The article challenges the notion that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is merely a placebo by presenting clinical, pre-clinical, and imaging evidence supporting its efficacy. Topics include historical and current SCS trial outcomes, biological mechanisms behind its therapeutic effects, and biases in interpreting placebo-controlled research, with Genesis Research Services contributing to the evidence-based perspective. |
