Treatment Details
Interventions
- Spinal Cord Stimulation
Trial OverviewThe SCS Research Study is examining how different spinal cord stimulation settings affect pain relief in patients with chronic limb and back pain. It focuses on personalizing treatment by assessing outcomes specific to each participant.
Participant Groups
9Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 9: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) FlowExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Characteristics of vital signs in DPN participants
Group II: Cohort 8: Differential Targeted Multiplexed (DTM) for Neuro Sense (NS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Effects of integrating Neuro Sense into DTM programming
Group III: Cohort 7: Super CycleExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Effects of longer cycle duration
Group IV: Cohort 6: Differential Targeted Multiplexed-Low Energy Spinal Cord Stimulation (DTM-LE SCS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Effects of decreased frequency and therapy cycling parameters
Group V: Cohort 5: Low Energy Cycling 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Effects of decreased pulse widths with increased frequency - with and without cycling parameters (different pulse widths and frequencies than Cohort 4)
Group VI: Cohort 4: Low Energy Cycling 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Effects of decreased pulse widths with increased frequency - with and without cycling parameters
Group VII: Cohort 3: Cycling EvolveExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be programmed to high dose (HD) stimulation with various cycling parameters
Group VIII: Cohort 2: InterleavingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Determine effects of delivering ping pulses combined with governed pulses while using separate sets of electrodes
Group IX: Cohort 1: Low Energy - ContinuousExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will be programmed to a specific frequency with a long pulse width at various amplitudes
