Has anyone had a peripheral nerve stimulator put in to help manage the CRPS pain? How were the results? Also, before the procedure was anyone required to have psychologist clearance?

      Yes, mine was implanted 10/19/21. Mine is the Medtronic. I had the psych exam. 50% reduction in pain is considered a successful surgery.

      Yes I have the Boston scientific spinal cord stimulator. I did have to have a psychological exam. It was a simple answer a ton of questions on a computer. Then I talked to the Dr about why I wanted the procedure. The stimulator has helped
