====== PROSTIM ======

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 cluster analysis to identify significant patient groups and their response to [[spinal cord stimulation]] [[treatment]]
