NCT04708392
Brief Summary:
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of spinal cord stimulation programming types, in comparison to each other as well as patient baseline data.
Detailed Description:
In this study patients have been implanted with an Abbott spinal cord stimulator capable of delivering both tonic (continuous) stimulation as well as Burst (intermittent) stimulation. Patients are programmed to be in both stimulation modes for a study period of 4 weeks, after which their pain symptoms are evaluated on a variety of surveys: McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Global Improvement. They also undergo Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST), where thermal, mechanical, vibration and pressure stimuli are applied to the patient and detection limits are documented.
