Dear All

Some new Info for those who are considering SCS for chronic pain & who need to apply for funding etc. Hot off the press there is a statement on the NICE website about SCS in chronic pain management – I have put the web address to the document I have looked at & it states that it is recommended as a treatment for chronic pain in some circumstances:

The folder is:

with the actual document:

I hope these work……fingers crossed.
Hope this might be interesting for some people.
