NCT05045625

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of a new spinal cord stimulation paddle electrode which is able to target the dorsal horns, dorsal nerve roots, and dorsal columns. The research electrode ("Study Electrode") is designed to answer basic physiological clinical research questions. It may inform future device therapy development, but the Study Electrode is not a product that will be marketed or sold. The Investigators believe the protocol is a Non-Significant Risk study answering basic physiological research questions, which may be performed under hospital IRB approval.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Patients rate their pain on a scale from 0-10; 0 being not in pain and 10 being worst pain imaginable. A higher score indicates worse outcome.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ)

    3 month

  • Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    3 months

  • Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)

    3 months

  • Beck Depression Index (BDI)

    3 months

Study Arms (1)

Study Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Twelve patients offered SCS for standard of care were also invited to participate in this study, in which a study electrode was temporarily placed intraoperatively and neuromonitoring was done per our routine standard-of-care

Device: HD Study Electrode

Interventions

The HD Study Electrode is an array of 8 columns of stimulation contacts arranged in 8 rows with a low-volume electrode body. This array of stimulation electrodes contact patterns of bi-poles and tri-poles may be applied to the spinal cord for assessment of dermatomal selective stimulation patterns.
