Erika Petersen, AAN 2021: Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy
We were delighted to speak with Prof. Erika Petersen (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR, USA) around the six month results from the SENZA-PDN study.
The abstract entitled: ‘Sustained Benefits for 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy—Six Month Results from a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial’ was presented at the American Academy of Neurology Virtual Annual Meeting 2021.
