Long-term safety of spinal cord stimulation systems in a prospective, global registry of patients with chronic pain.

The availability of long-term (>2 years) safety outcomes of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) remains limited. We evaluated safety in a global SCS registry for chronic pain. Participants were prospectively enrolled globally at 79 implanting centers and followed out to 3 years after device implantation.

Pain relief outcomes using an SCS device capable of delivering combination therapy with advanced waveforms and field shapes.

Background: Given the range of subjective experiences reported by patients with chronic pain, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) systems designed for tailored delivery of analgesic therapy may help improve treatment effectiveness and satisfaction.

Research Design And Methods: This case-series evaluated 420 patients with chronic back and/or leg pain implanted with an SCS device capable of sequential or simultaneous delivery of neurostimulation (i.e.

Utilization of multiple spinal cord stimulation (SCS) waveforms in chronic pain patients.

Background: Advances in spinal cord stimulation (SCS) have improved patient outcomes, leading to its increased utilization for chronic pain. Chronic pain is dynamic showing exacerbations, variable severity, and evolving pain patterns. Given this complexity, SCS systems that provide a broad range of stimulation waveforms may be valuable.
