About this study

To determine the best parameters with various leads to cover back and leg pain and provide best pain relief

Read the detailed description

Prospective double-blinded trial of patients already implanted with SCS to determine which programming model best controls their back and or leg pain. Baseline visit is 2 weeks after implant. Baseline study data is collected, program #1 is started. The visit @ week 4 collects NRS, changes to program #2. The visit @ week 6 collect NRS, and starts program #3. The visit @ week 8 collects NRS. Subject chooses their preferred program from the previous 3 and uses that for the next 12 weeks. The visit @ week 20 collects NRS.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percent Pain Relief- Subject Self-reported Percentage of Relief With Each Program.

    percentage of pain relief- self report

    Measured: weeks 4, 6, and 8

What does the primary outcome measure?

Numeric Rating Scale (Pain) (time frame: Weeks 4, 6 and 8). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
