Summary

This trialevaluates a new type of dosing for pain relief in patients with DRG stimulation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-99 with chronic back or leg pain who've had significant pain relief from a DRG stimulator for at least a year. They should have followed up recently, been reprogrammed before, and be willing to follow the study plan and complete health surveys.
What is being tested?
The study tests two intermittent dosing patterns of DRG stimulation as alternatives to continuous therapy. Participants will try both methods: one with higher frequency (20 Hz) and another with lower (5 Hz), switching after 13 weeks, to see which works better for pain management.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, DRG stimulation can generally cause discomfort at the implant site, tingling sensations in the treatment area, infection risk from surgery, and potential changes in pain levels.
