Summary

This trial is testing different types of stimulations to see what works best for pain relief with the least side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 22 with limb or back pain, who have had a Medtronic rechargeable neurostimulation system implanted for at least one month. Participants must understand English, be able to follow the study's procedures and document their experience. Pregnant women or those not using birth control are excluded.
What is being tested?
The SCS Research Study is examining how different spinal cord stimulation settings affect pain relief in patients with chronic limb and back pain. It focuses on personalizing treatment by assessing outcomes specific to each participant.
What are the potential side effects?
While the summary doesn't specify side effects, spinal cord stimulation can typically cause discomfort at the site of implantation, unwanted tingling sensations due to stimulation, and potential infection risks.
