Spinal cord stimulation. New regulation of national health insurance.

AbstractSince January 1, 2008, the Belgian national health insurance (INAMI/RIZIV) edited a new agreement for the prolongation of the pilot-study on spinal cord stimulation for chronic critical unreconstructable lower limb ischemia. After a short introduction and a summary of the results of the initial Belgian pilot study (2000–2005) on spinal cord stimulation, the official new text is now published in both languages.
