Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in Visual Analog Scale Pain (VAS) Scores Between Baseline and Trial Stimulation

    Pain questionnaire - (Scale is 0-100 mm with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning worst pain imaginable)

    baseline and 1 week after trial lead implant (trial stimulation)

  • Change in Visual Analog Scale Pain Scores Between Baseline and Follow up 1

    Pain questionnaire - (Scale is 0-100 mm with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning worst pain imaginable)

    Baseline and 1 month follow up visit

  • Change in Visual Analog Scale Pain Scores Between Baseline and Follow up 2

    Pain questionnaire - (Scale is 0-100 mm with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning worst pain imaginable)

    Baseline and 3 month follow up visit

  • Change in Visual Analog Scale Pain Scores Between Baseline and Follow up 3

    Pain questionnaire - (Scale is 0-100 mm with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning worst pain imaginable)

    Baseline and 6 month follow up visit

Secondary Outcomes (12)

Study Arms (1)

Microdosing group

EXPERIMENTAL

Stimulation will be delivered at with different microdosing setting to identify the optimal parameter values for each patient.

Device: Stimulation will be delivered at with different microdosing setting to identify the optimal parameter values for each patient.

Interventions

BurstDR spinal cord stimulation will be delivered with different ON/OFF periods to identify the best setting for each patients.
