Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Study candidate is undergoing a temporary SCS trial of commercially approved BSC neurostimulator system, per local directions for use (DFU).
  • Subject signed a valid, EC/IRB-approved informed consent form.
  • Age 18 or above, or above legal age and willing and capable of giving informed consent specific to national law when written informed consent is obtained.
  • In the clinician best judgment, subject is able to distinguishably describe quality and location of sensation and pain.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject meets any contraindication in BSC neurostimulation system local DFU.
  • Investigator-suspected gross lead migration during the SCS trial period which may preclude the study candidate from receiving adequate SCS therapy.
  • Subject is currently diagnosed with cognitive impairment, or exhibits any characteristic, that in the clinician's best judgement would limit study candidate's ability to assess and report sensation information.
  • Subject is currently diagnosed with a physical impairment, or exhibits a condition that would limit study candidate's ability to complete study assessments.
