Predicting Success in Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Diabetic Foot: The Role of Infrared Thermography

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been an emerging therapy for patients with intractable ischemic pain and non-healing diabetic foot complications. While traditionally used for pain relief, evidence is building that SCS may also enhance blood flow, support ulcer healing, and even prolong limb salvage. But the critical question remains: who benefits most from this expensive... Continue Reading →
