WIKISTIM.org: An On-Line Database of Published Neurostimulation Studies

Enhancing WIKISTIM.org Using Machine Learning Approaches

“…None of the areas for optimization that we have outlined were mentioned by the authors in their planned list of future enhancements for WIKISTIM (2). While we recognize that WIKISTIM, despite its 5-year-plus existence, is at an early stage of development, there exist in our view key inefficiencies and potential oversights in the current approach that must be promptly addressed to ensure the sustainability and ultimate effectiveness of this promising resource.…”

Systematic Review of Research Methods and Reporting Quality of Randomized Clinical Trials of Spinal Cord Stimulation for Pain

“…WIKISTIM monthly newsletters were reviewed from February through November 2018 to identify new citations added to the topic of SCS. 59,83 The reference lists of all included studies were also reviewed for additional studies. The results of the search were used to inform 2 further analyses.…”

Research design considerations for randomized controlled trials of spinal cord stimulation for pain: Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials/Institute of Neuromodulation/International Neuromodulation Society recommendations

“… 19 , 34 , 62 , 91 Studies designed to evaluate clinical outcomes as well as mechanisms of action, including recent studies of SCS-induced pain relief with functional magnetic resonance imaging, demonstrated the usefulness of combining these approaches. 90 , 92 , 101 , 128 , 162 To date, more than 2500 citations of studies of SCS that report primary data appear on The Neuromodulation Foundation's searchable database ( www.wikistim.org ) 115 ; yet, RCTs are rare, and blinded RCTs rarer yet.…”
