Meta-analysis and review of rechargeable implantable pulse generators for spinal cord stimulation and deep brain stimulation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Neuromodulation through deep brain stimulation (DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has become a successful therapy for various neurological disorders, such as movement disorders and chronic pain. Implantable pulse generators (IPGs) are pivotal in these therapies, available as either rechargeable (r-IPGs) or non-rechargeable (nr-IPGs).

Research question

To perform a meta-analysis on r-IPGs.

Methods

A systematic literature search following PRISMA guidelines was conducted on PubMed, focusing on studies published from January 2005 to August 2023. Included studies comprised clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, and comparative studies involving human subjects. Data extraction focused on patient demographics, stimulation types, battery characterist
