NEUROSTIMULATORS vs. (INTRATHECAL) DRUG PUMPS FOR CHRONIC PAIN
Neurostimulators send electrical impulses to the spine. These impulses replace pain also providing pain relief.
Drug pumps deliver pain medication directly to the fluid around the spinal cord, providing pain relief.

TAKE-HOME EXERCISE
Carotid stenosis is a narrowing of the carotid arteries, the two major arteries that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart tothe brain. Carotid stenosis is caused by a buildup of plaque inside the artery wall that reduces blood flow to the brain and is amajor risk factor for stroke. There are different types of treatments:
• No medical treatment (by being physically active)• Medical management following a medication regimen such as taking:
• platelet aggregation inhibitor medication (aspirin)• cholesterol-lowering medication (statins)• antihypertensive medication (ACE inhibitors)
•Minimally invasive vascular surgery: carotid stenting + adjuvant drug therapy
Surgery does not always the most optimal outcome, only 89% of patient gain significant health benefit from operation, healthstatus of additional 10.5% remains unchanged compared to their health status before the surgery. Surgery is not risk-free andthereby 0.5% of patients die during the surgery.

ANSWER
![Page 26: training Health Economics and Medical Technologies 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030402/58a8b9581a28abbd6b8b6161/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
1. Carotid stenting + adjuvant drug therapy is more cost-effective than medical management as treatment for carotid
artery stenosis.
1. Yes
The World Health Organization WHO states that the limit for being prepared to pay should be related to the wealth of
a country.
Following this rationale, a result expressed in cost per QALY which is lower than the level of the Gross Domestic
Product per person would be called cost-effective.
GDP BELGIUM 2012 = 369 BILLION €
POPULATION BELGIUM 31-12-2012 = 11,1 MILLION
AVERAGE GDP PER CAPITA = +/- 30.000 €
Thus in this hypothetical example the Belgian national payer SHOULD be in favor of reimbursing the carotid stenting
+ adjuvant drug therapy because the ICER is far below the 30.000 €/QALY.
