A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Precision Spectra™ Programming Features and Lead Options on Patient Outcomes (COVERAGE)

November 18, 2020 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation

COVERAGE - A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Precision Spectra™ SCS System's Programming Features and Lead Options on Patient Outcomes

The study is a prospective, on-label, multi-center, blinded, randomized controlled trial with a cross-over design to evaluate the effect of Precision Spectra™ SCS System's programming features and lead options.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study is a sub-study of RELIEF - A Global Registry to Evaluate Long-Term Effectiveness of Neurostimulation Therapy for Pain (NCT01719055). The treatment will consist of permanent implant of a Precision Spectra™ SCS IPG with either a 32 contact CoverEdge™ Surgical Lead or with more than 2 percutaneous leads after a successful trial. Programming features and lead options of the Precision Spectra™ SCS System will be evaluated up to 3 months post-IPG activation. Following completion of the 3 month visit, subjects will continue to be followed for up to 36 months per the study requirements of the RELIEF Registry.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Paresthesia Coverage ≥50%
Time Frame: 7, 14 days post activation
Paresthesia Coverage assesses how much of the subject's painful areas are covered by SCS-induced paresthesia. The number of subjects reporting paresthesia coverage ≥50% is reported.
7, 14 days post activation
