Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this investigational study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of electrical stimulation delivered to the spinal cord in subjects with chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs and will be a comparison of the Senza System with commercially available SCS systems.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Have been diagnosed with chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs (VAS ≥ 5) which has been refractory to conservative therapy for a minimum of 3 months.
- •Be an appropriate candidate for the surgical procedures required in this study based on the clinical judgment of the implanting physician
- •Be 18 years of age or older at the time of enrollment
- •Be willing and capable of giving informed consent
- •Be willing and able to comply with study-related requirements, procedures, and visits
Exclusion Criteria
- •Have a medical condition or pain in other area(s), not intended to be treated with SCS, that could interfere with study procedures, accurate pain reporting, and/or confound evaluation of study endpoints, as determined by the Investigator
- •Have evidence of an active disruptive psychological or psychiatric disorder or other known condition significant enough to impact perception of pain, compliance of intervention and/or ability to evaluate treatment outcome, as determined by a psychologist
- •Have a current diagnosis of a coagulation disorder, bleeding diathesis, progressive peripheral vascular disease or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
- •Have a diagnosis of scoliosis that precludes lead placement
- •Have an existing drug pump and/or SCS system or another active implantable device such as a pacemaker
- •Have prior experience with SCS
- •Have a condition currently requiring or likely to require the use of MRI or diathermy
- •Have metastatic malignant disease or active local malignant disease
- •Have a life expectancy of less than 1 year
- •Have an active systemic or local infection
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in back pain VAS and neurological status from Baseline
Time Frame: 3 months
The primary endpoint is a composite of effectiveness and safety. Specifically, the primary endpoint is the percentage of randomized subjects (the ITT analysis population) and subjects completing the Primary Efficacy Assessment (the PP analysis population) who respond to SCS therapy (as assessed by VAS) for back pain and do not have a stimulation-related neurological deficit at the Primary Efficacy Assessment (non-inferiority analysis). Subjects who do not have a successful Trial Phase are considered failures (non-responders) toward the primary endpoint.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in disability as measured by Oswestry Disability Index(3, 6, 12 months)
- Number of subjects with adverse events(12 months)
