Report: Implanted Spinal Cord Stimulators for Pain Relief
We document the FDA’s dangerously lax regulatory oversight of high-risk implanted spinal cord stimulators for pain relief.
Advocating safer, more effective medical devices
The FDA’s standards for allowing medical devices on the market are too weak. As a result, dangerous — even deadly — or ineffective devices enter the market. Public Citizen’s doctors and medical experts work to ensure that medical devices are safe and effective.
