Clinical Predictors of Pain Relief with 60-Day Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Multicenter Observational Study by Odonkor CA, Oghenesume O, Hirani S, Bohacek S, Gutierrez DE, Sekhar R, McCormick ZL, Poree L, Abd-Elsayed A

“…This study examined patient characteristics that influence response (early and delayed) or nonresponse to 60-day PNS treatment.Patients from multiple health systems completed surveys before treatment to assess pain levels, physical activity, disability, and psychological factors. Our research team analyzed medical records to identify predictors of successful response and nonresponse to a 60-day PNS treatment.The results showed that:Early responders (patients who benefited quickly) had higher physical activity levels, greater confidence in managing pain (pain self-efficacy), and lower pain-related distress (catastrophizing).Delayed responders (patients who improved gradually) had longer histories of chronic pain and more severe baseline pain disability.Non-responders (patients who did not experience significant pain relief) tended to exhibit higher psychological distress, opioid dependence, and morbid obesity.These findings suggest that baseline physical activity, psychological coping, and behavioral factors could help to identify ideal candidates for PNS therapy. …”
