Safety of combined exercise and spinal cord stimulation therapy in persistent spinal pain syndrome: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland), 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
A 36-year-old man with a history of lumbar disc herniation and laminectomy in 2022 presented with recurrent pain, despite initial improvement. His symptoms, likely attributable to postsurgical fibrosis and residual disc protrusion, were managed with various treatments, including pharmacological therapy, epidural steroid injection, and epidurolysis, albeit with limited success. Following a multidisciplinary evaluation, SCS was proposed, and the patient consented to the procedure. Diagnostic imaging revealed postsurgical changes and nerve root involvement at the L5-S1 level. The patient commenced a structured exercise program in conjunction with SCS, aimed at enhancing spinal stability and function, with positive outcomes anticipated through continued intervention. The current findings suggest that exercise, when following a standardised protocol, carries a minimal risk of electrode migration. However, further research is required to validate the reliability of these radiographic measurements. Future studies should focus on larger sample sizes and examine the combined effects of SCS and individualized exercise interventions. This could aid in the development of more effective and comprehensive treatment protocols for PSPS-T2 patients.
