Who can benefit from Neurostimulation ?

Neurostimulation is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic back and leg pain associated with FBS and for treatment of patients with CRPS who are unsatisfactorily controlled on existing therapies

SynergyT has proven efficacy in difficult-to-treat populations where other therapies have failed, e.g. when repeat operation is not warranted
