Higher interoceptive awareness in SCS patients correlated with greater improvement following the procedure, particularly with regards to pain relief and pain catastrophizing. These findings suggest that patients with better mind-body connections may achieve greater pain relief following SCS in this patient population, thereby aiding providers in determining who may benefit from this intervention.
