Abstract
Aim: Effects of age and sex on chronic pain outcomes following spinal cord stimulation (SCS) have not yet been assessed. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1 year outcomes from a database of patients receiving thoracic SCS. Subjects were divided into four cohorts: pre-menopausal and post-menopausal females, and aged-matched males. Improvement using the numerical rating scale, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), McGill Pain Questionnaire and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) was assessed. Results: Older females were notably different from males and females under 60 as they had greater improvements in ODI, BDI and PCS. Further, females ≥60 had greater improvement in PCS compared with males ≥60. Conclusion: Our findings suggest greater improvement with 1 year SCS treatment in post-menopausal females, compared with age-matched males.
