Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Pain Relative to Baseline and After a Trial Period

    Numerical rating pain score measured before and after intervention. 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being the worst pain imaginable (1-3 is rated as mild pain, 4-6 is rated at moderate pain, 7-9 is rated as severe pain). Subject rates average pain for the past 7 days.

    Baseline and 4 days plus or minus 1 days

Study Arms (3)

Control - Conventional SCS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional SCS parameters for 4 days plus/minus 1 day using an external SCS modulator.

Device: Control - Conventional SCS

Washout Period

NO INTERVENTION

1 day where no stimulation is provided

Test - Stimgenics SCS

EXPERIMENTAL

Stimgenics SCS parameters for 4 days plus/minus 1 day using an external SCS modulator.

Device: Test - Stimgenics SCS

Eligibility Criteria

Age19 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Capable of giving written informed consent to participate in this clinical study based on voluntary agreement after a thorough explanation of the patient's participation is provided to them.
  • Chronic intractable pain of the lower back equal to or greater than pain in lower limbs, and that has been refractory to conservative therapy for ≥ 3 months.
  • Must be older than 18 years old.
  • Average back pain intensity of ≥ 5 out of 10 on the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS).
  • Appropriate candidate for spinal cord stimulation trial.
  • Subjects must be on a stable dose of pain medication regimen for at least 1 month.
  • Female patients who are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study. Females of child bearing potential must provide a negative pregnancy test and must be using reliable contraception and must continue to use reliable contraception until study completion. Non-childbearing potential is defined as postmenopausal for at least 2 years or surgical sterilization or hysterectomy at least 3 months before study start. Patients who become pregnant or who have a spouse/significant other that becomes pregnant during the course of this study agree to report pregnancy to the study physician/staff.
  • Must be able to comply with the requirement of study visits and follow-up and phone visits.
  • Have cognitive ability of operate the remote control and follow therapy instructions and directions by clinicians.

You may not qualify if:

  • Systemic infection.
  • Any active implanted device.
  • Previous experience with SCS therapy either during a trial or fully implanted
  • Evidence of serious neurological, psychological or psychiatric disorders.
  • Mechanical spinal instability.
  • Patients with uncorrected coagulation disorders or who are on anticoagulation therapy and cannot interrupt the therapy.
  • Patient who are pregnant, breast-feeding or women of childbearing potential with positive pregnancy tests.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or a clinically significant infection.
  • Patients who are undergoing or will undergo therapies or diagnostics that involve electromagnetic fields such as: diathermy based therapies, electrocautery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiofrequency (RF) or microwave ablation, bone growth stimulators, electrolysis, therapeutic ultrasound, ultrasound, lithotripsy, psychotherapeutic procedures, radiation therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
  • A clinically significant disorder such as cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary infarction, ischemic heart disease, cardiac dysrhythmia, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure or any other as determined by the investigator.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled pulmonary disease, or uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Patients who have evidence of major psychiatric disease, mental disorder, drug dependency, alcohol dependency, or substance abuse disorders.
  • Patients who have progressive neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, rapidly progressive arachnoiditis, acute herniated disc, or any other as determined by investigator.
  • Medical condition or pain in other body areas that could interfere with study procedures, accurate pain reporting, and/or confound evaluation of study end points.
  • Concurrent participation in another clinical study.
