Interventional techniques: evidence-based practice guidelines in the management of chronic spinal pain. (2007, background): “Kemler et al (1257) reported on CRPS plus physical therapy (PT) versus PT alone.”
Spinal cord stimulation versus conventional medical management for neuropathic pain: A multicentre randomised controlled trial in patients with failed back surgery syndrome (2007, background): “Also, the fact that we observed a similar level of pain relief in the SCS patients at 1, 3 and 6 months reduces likelihood that our results reflect solely a placebo effect (Kemler et al., 2000).”
EFNS guidelines on neurostimulation therapy for neuropathic pain (2007, background): “In CRPS type I, results and evidence level are also good, with a single class-II RCT of SCS compared with conventional care alone [29,30].”
Is a single-item visual analogue scale as valid, reliable and responsive as multi-item scales in measuring quality of life? (2004, methodology): “Recently, the VAS has been used to measure specific aspects of quality of life such as pain [10–12], incontinence [13], body image [14], and mood [15], as well as global quality of life [16, 17].”
