Filter by:Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a therapeutic option for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) syndrome, when pharmacological, psychological, physical and occupational therapies or surgery fail to reduce symptoms. CLBP is a common disease with several negative consequences on the quality of life, work and activity ability and increased costs to the health-care system. We have therefore designed this observational study to assess global cognitive functioning in three different groups of patients: patients with chronic pain undergoing intervention (experimental group), patients with chronic pain following traditional therapies (comparison group) and healthy participants matched for age and schooling (healthy subjects). A neuropsychological assessment battery designed to assess global cognitive functioning, behavioral symptomatology, metacognition, quality of life, interoception, pain perception, self-efficacy, and coping styles will be conducted.
