Stents reduce angina (chest pain) and have been shown to improve survival and decrease adverse events after a patient has suffered a heart attack-medically termed an acute myocardial infarction.

All forms of spinal cord stimulation have demonstrated varying degrees of efficacy in treating a variety of pharmacoresistant neuropathic or mixed (neuropathic and nociceptive) pain syndromes, such as post-laminectomy syndrome, low back pain, complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, and angina.
