A psychological evaluation for spinal cord stimulator (SCS) placement is a clinical assessment that determines whether a patient is mentally and emotionally ready for the procedure. It explores psychological factors that could influence pain perception, treatment adherence, and recovery success.

Research shows that psychological well-being can significantly affect how patients experience and manage chronic pain. The evaluation helps identify any mental health conditions or barriers that may interfere with successful outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, or unrealistic expectations.

The evaluation includes a clinical interview and psychological testing to assess your emotional health, coping skills, expectations for the procedure, and history of chronic pain. It may also include questionnaires or rating scales to support diagnosis and treatment planning.

The goal isn’t to “pass or fail” but to determine the best path forward. If any concerns are identified—like unmanaged depression or unrealistic expectations—your clinician may recommend additional support before proceeding with surgery to ensure the best possible outcome.

KindestMind does not bill insurance directly, but we can provide a superbill upon request so you can submit it to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
