Active Comparator: Group 1: Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
Subjects in Group 1 will have leads placed in their lower back. These subjects will then use the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System and will receive electrical stimulation for 8 weeks.
|
Device: SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System
The SPRINT System delivers mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in your low back. The SPRINT System includes up to two leads (small wires) that are placed through your skin into your low back. The leads attach to devices worn on your body that deliver stimulation (called Stimulators). |
Active Comparator: Group 2: Standard Interventional Management (Standard of Care)
Subjects in Group 2 will receive the standard of care. Group 2 subjects may be able to crossover to receive PNS after 12 months from start of treatment (Visit 16).
|
Procedure: Standard interventional management of low back pain
Your doctor will determine which procedure or intervention is appropriate for your back pain. You may receive radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, surgery, or another procedure or treatment, as appropriate. |
- Reduction in average pain intensity [ Time Frame: Up to 3-months after Start of Therapy (SOT) ]Average pain is measured using question 5 from the Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-5). BPI-5 is a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst pain.

- Reduction in pain interference [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3-months after SOT ]Measured using question 9 from the Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form. This question asks the subject to rate the degree to which their pain has interfered with general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is "does not interfere" and 10 is "completely interferes" within the last week.
- Reduction in disability [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3-months after SOT ]Measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The ODI asks subjects to rate how their back pain impacts ten components of everyday life. For each section, the answers correlate to a scale which ranges from 0 to 5, where 0 is no disability and 5 is maximum disability.
- Durability of reductions in pain intensity [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6-months after SOT, 9-months after SOT, 12-months after SOT, 18-months after SOT, 24 months after SOT ]Measured using question 5 from the Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-5). BPI-5 is a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst pain.
- Reduction in worst pain intensity [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3-months after SOT ]Measured using question 3 from the Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (BPI-3). BPI-3 is a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst pain.
- Patient Global Impression of Change [ Time Frame: 3-months after SOT ]Measured using the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) survey. The PGIC scale asks subjects to rate their improvement with treatment on a 7-point scale (centered at 4) that ranges from "very much worse" to "very much improved" relative to baseline.
- Change in health-related quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3-months after SOT ]Measured using the EQ-5D survey. The EQ-5D is a five-level scale. Each level is coded from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates no problems and 5 indicates extreme problems. The EQ-5D also includes a 0 to 100 scale for health status, where 0 indicates "the worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicates "the best health you can imagine".
- Change in analgesic medication usage [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3-months after SOT ]Analgesic medication consumption will be collected.
