Swedish MTP Council launched a national evaluation of spinal cord stimulation devices within the Orderly introduction framework

Swedish Medical Technologies Product (MTP) Council is currently evaluating devices for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as part of the Orderly introduction framework.

The Orderly introduction framework aimed to manage the national introduction of novel technologies is working as permanent from the beginning of 2020. This is a staged process, including horizon scanning, selection of the method for evaluation, the decision on national collaboration, health economic evaluation by the Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV), and recommendations by the MTP Council to regions about the introduction of the method.

On September 23, 2022, MTP Council commissioned the TLV to perform a health economic evaluation of five devices for SCS. Based on the TLV assessment, MTP Council will develop recommendations to regions regarding the introduction of SCS devices and the criteria for use.
