To evaluate high-frequency (10-kHz) spinal cord stimulation (SCS) treatment in refractory painful diabetic neuropathy.
A prospective, multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted between Aug 28, 2017 and March 16, 2021, comparing conventional medical management (CMM) with 10-kHz SCS+CMM. The participants had hemoglobin A1c level of less than or equal to 10% and pain greater than or equal to 5 of 10 cm on visual analog scale, with painful diabetic neuropathy symptoms 12 months or more refractory to gabapentinoids and at least 1 other analgesic class. Assessments included measures of pain, neurologic function, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) over 12 months with optional crossover at 6 months.
The participants were randomized 1:1 to CMM (n=103) or 10-kHz SCS+CMM (n=113). At 6 months, 77 of 95 (81%) CMM group participants opted for crossover, whereas none of the 10-kHz SCS group participants did so. At 12 months, the mean pain relief from baseline among participants implanted with 10-kHz SCS was 74.3% (95% CI, 70.1-78.5), and 121 of 142 (85%) participants were treatment responders (≥50% pain relief). Treatment with 10-kHz SCS improved HRQoL, including a mean improvement in the EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire index score of 0.136 (95% CI, 0.104-0.169). The participants also reported significantly less pain interference with sleep, mood, and daily activities. At 12 months, 131 of 142 (92%) participants were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the 10-kHz SCS treatment.
The 10-kHz SCS treatment resulted in substantial pain relief and improvement in overall HRQoL 2.5- to 4.5-fold higher than the minimal clinically important difference. The outcomes were durable over 12 months and support 10-kHz SCS treatment in patients with refractory painful diabetic neuropathy.

评估高频(10kHz)脊髓刺激(SCS)治疗难治性疼痛性糖尿病神经病变的效果。
于2017年8月28日至2021年3月16日进行了一项前瞻性、多中心随机对照试验,比较传统药物治疗(CMM)与10kHz SCS联合CMM。参与者的糖化血红蛋白水平小于或等于10%,视觉模拟量表上的疼痛程度大于或等于10厘米中的5厘米,患有疼痛性糖尿病神经病变症状,对加巴喷丁类药物及至少1种其他镇痛药物治疗12个月或更长时间无效。评估包括12个月内的疼痛、神经功能和健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)测量,6个月时可选择交叉治疗。
参与者按1:1随机分为CMM组(n = 103)或10kHz SCS联合CMM组(n = 113)。6个月时,95名CMM组参与者中有77名(81%)选择交叉治疗,而10kHz SCS组参与者中无人选择。12个月时,接受10kHz SCS治疗的参与者自基线起的平均疼痛缓解率为74.3%(95%CI,70.1 - 78.5),142名参与者中有121名(85%)为治疗反应者(疼痛缓解≥50%)。10kHz SCS治疗改善了HRQoL,包括欧洲五维健康量表指数得分平均提高0.136(95%CI,0.104 - 0.169)。参与者还报告疼痛对睡眠、情绪和日常活动的干扰明显减少。12个月时,142名参与者中有131名(92%)对10kHz SCS治疗“满意”或“非常满意”。
10kHz SCS治疗带来了显著的疼痛缓解,整体HRQoL改善比最小临床重要差异高2.5至4.5倍。治疗效果在12个月内持久,支持10kHz SCS用于治疗难治性疼痛性糖尿病神经病变患者。
