Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (9)
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 1
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 5 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 2
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 2 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 3
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 3 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 4
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 5 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale - Cohort 5
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 5 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 6
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 7 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 7
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 8 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - Cohort 8
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 0.5 months
Numeric Pain Rating Scale at Enrollment (NPRS) - Cohort 9
To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded once or daily over a period of time, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
Up to 1 month
Study Arms (9)
Cohort 1: Low Energy - Continuous
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will be programmed to a specific frequency with a long pulse width at various amplitudes
Cohort 2: Interleaving
