Study Details

This study aims to find out the optimal duration (in days) needed for a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial procedure for treating chronic pain. While shorter trial periods could lower risks like infections or bleeding (especially for patients who need to stop blood thinners), patients also need sufficient time to achieve meaningful pain and function relief, and to report willingness to proceed to permanent implantation. Unfortunately, the optimal duration of an SCS trial procedure is not currently known. We aim to explore this optimal duration across a multi-center study by studying daily surveys completed across the duration of SCS trial procedures.
