INTRODUCTION: Spinal implants play a vital role in healthcare delivery, and regulations are necessary to ensure their quality, approval, access, and use. In this article, we examine the current state of regulation and approval procedures for medical devices in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), emphasizing the situation in Tanzania.

Pain has physical, psychological, and social implications in MS, and both comprehensive assessment and interdisciplinary management approaches are needed. We sought to develop an interdisciplinary interim guideline for the assessment and management of pain in children with MS.
