- Percent reduction in targeted pain compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 6 Month Follow-up Visit ]Percentage of participants who experience at least a 50 percent reduction in targeted pain from baseline, as assessed by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) will range from 0 to 10 with a higher score indicating a higher level of pain.
- Percent reduction in targeted pain compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 12, 18, and 24 Month Follow-up Visits ]Percentage of participants who experience at least a 50 percent reduction in targeted pain from baseline, as assessed by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) will range from 0 to 10 with a higher score indicating a higher level of pain.
- Percent change in targeted pain intensity compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 Month Follow-up Visits ]Percent reduction or actual reduction from baseline in targeted pain intensity, as assessed by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) will range from 0 to 10 with a higher score indicating a higher level of pain.
- Change in disability compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 Month Follow-up Visits ]Change from baseline in disability as measured by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The Oswestry Disability Index is scored between 0 and 100 with higher scores indicating a greater disability.
- Change in quality of life compared to baseline [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 Month Follow-up Visits ]Change from baseline in quality of life as measured by EQ-5D, a standardized measure of health status.
- Willingness to undergo procedure again [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 Month Follow-up Visits ]To record the participants willingness to undergo the procedure again using a question (yes/no) if the participant would be willing to undergo the procedure again.
- Rate of device-related and/or procedure-related Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From Implant through 24 Month Follow-up Visit ]To record the rate of device-related and/or procedure-related Adverse Events (AEs).
- Rate of surgical intervention of the SCS system [ Time Frame: From Implant through 24 Month Follow-up Visit ]To record the rate of surgical intervention of the SCS system.
