Device: Spinal Cord Stimulation
Programming |
- Numeric pain rating scale [ Time Frame: Up to 16 months ]To characterize the effect of different programmed settings on pain relief. The NPRS will be recorded in clinic or once a day on a multi-day diary, where the subjects will rate their pain on a 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing 'No Pain' and 10 representing 'Worst pain imaginable'. The average overall NPRS pain score from the diary prior to the scheduled visit will be used for analysis.
