The model specifically examines how these aspects play a role in topics ranging from health and disease models to human development. This model was developed by George L. Engel in 1977 and is the first of its kind to employ this type of multifaceted thinking. The Biopsychosocial Model has received criticism about its limitations but continues to carry influence in the fields of psychology, health, medicine, and human development. ---- [[PROSTIM]] study is an [[ongoing]] [[prospective]], [[multicentric]], and [[observational]] [[clinical study]] (NCT05349695) that aims to identify different patient [[cluster]]s and their outcomes after [[spinal cord stimulation]]. Patients are recruited in different centers in [[Europe]]. The [[analysis]] focuses on identifying significant patient clusters based on different health [[domain]]s and the changes in biopsychosocial variables 6 weeks, 3, and 12 months after [[implantation]]. This study is the first to include a [[biopsychosocial clustering]] to identify significant patient groups and their response to [[spinal cord stimulation]] [[treatment]] ((Raymaekers V, Meeuws S, Goudman L, der Steen GV, Moens M, Vanloon M, Ridder D, Menovsky T, Vesper J, Plazier M.
