Spinal Cord Stimulation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic, debilitating pain disorder that primarily affects the limbs and often arises after injury, surgery, or trauma. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has emerged as a promising intervention for patients with refractory CRPS, offering targeted modulation of pain pathways in the spinal cord. Evidence suggests that SCS can provide significant pain relief, improve functional outcomes, and enhance quality of life. While generally safe, the therapy carries potential risks, including surgical complications, hardware issues, and infection. Advances in neuromodulation technologies and patient selection strategies continue to refine SCS therapy, highlighting its evolving role within multidisciplinary pain management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms, efficacy, safety, and future directions of SCS in treating CRPS.
