Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is spinal cord stimulation cost-effective for non-surgical management of critical limb ischaemia?
Answer: Total costs of treatment in CLI are high. Major components are hospital and rehabilitation costs. In contrast to recent reviews, there were no long-term benefits of SCS-treatment. Therefore, cost-effectiveness is reduced to cost-minimisation and SCS-treatment is considerably more expensive than best medical treatment.
Output (English): no
