    AbstractEvidence-based medicine is gaining increasing penetrance in the United States. Neuromodulation providers need to know how to use this resource and how to get what we do appropriately evaluated and included in structured reviews and meta-analyses. Randomized clinical trials are not the only form of evidence for patient care activities; other, equally valid strategies are available and should be used for interventions that may preclude blinding and randomization. Those who determine payment are going to use evidence-based medicine to make decisions that may not be in the best interests of our patients or our profession.© 2008 International Neuromodulation Society.
