Vectors Post Market: A Study to Assess Pain Relief Using Spinal Cord Stimulation

October 13, 2020 updated by: MedtronicNeuro

Vectors Post Market: A Study to Assess Pain Relief Using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) With High Dose (HD) Stimulation Parameters

This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center study evaluating the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy for pain relief using high dose (HD) stimulation parameters delivered to neural targets identified during current commercial trial stimulation procedures. The study will evaluate changes in back and leg pain from baseline to 3, 6, and 12 months.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Overall Pain Intensity on the Visual Analog Scale (0-100)
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months

Demonstrate a significant improvement in overall pain intensity as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

The VAS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain imaginable). The change in overall pain intensity is calculated as the Baseline VAS minus the 3-month VAS, where a positive value indicates an improvement (ie, reduction) in pain from Baseline to 3 months. Higher values represent a larger reduction (ie, greater improvement) in pain.

The change in overall pain intensity as measured by the VAS can range from -100 (worsening in pain from 0 at baseline to 100 at 3 months) to 100 (improvement in pain from 100 at baseline to 0 at 3 months). It should be noted that while the change in VAS can range from -100 to 100, no subjects had a VAS of 0 at baseline, as the presence of pain was required for eligibility for inclusion in the study.
Baseline to 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Pain Efficacy Responder Rate
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months

Characterize the overall pain efficacy responder rate, where the responder rate is the percentage of subjects who experience at least a 50% improvement in overall pain, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

The VAS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain imaginable). The percent improvement for each subject was calculated as [100*(Baseline VAS - 3-month VAS)/Baseline VAS], where a positive number represents an improvement, and the larger the number the greater the percent improvement. If the percent improvement from baseline to 3 months was at least 50%, the subject was considered a responder.

The percentage of subjects who experience at least a 50% improvement in overall pain can range from 0% (no responders) to 100% (all responders).
Baseline to 3 months
Low Back Pain Efficacy Responder Rate
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months

Characterize the low back pain efficacy responder rate, where the responder rate is the percentage of subjects who experience at least a 50% improvement in low back pain, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

The VAS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain imaginable). The percent improvement for each subject was calculated as [100*(Baseline VAS - 3-month VAS)/Baseline VAS], where a positive number represents an improvement, and the larger the number the greater the percent improvement. If the percent improvement from baseline to 3 months was at least 50%, the subject was considered a responder.

The percentage of subjects who experience at least a 50% improvement in low back pain can range from 0% (no responders) to 100% (all responders).
Baseline to 3 months
Leg Pain Efficacy Responder Rate
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months

Characterize the leg pain efficacy responder rate, where the responder rate is the percentage of subjects who experience at least a 50% improvement in leg pain, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

The VAS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain imaginable). The percent improvement for each subject was calculated as [100*(Baseline VAS - 3-month VAS)/Baseline VAS], where a positive number represents an improvement, and the larger the number the greater the percent improvement. If the percent improvement from baseline to 3 months was at least 50%, the subject was considered a responder.

The percentage of subjects who experience at least a 50% improvement in leg pain can range from 0% (no responders) to 100% (all responders).
