Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Chronic Pain
Registration Number
NCT04159753
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Researchers are evaluating if subjects who have already experienced tonic spinal cord stimulation would have a better pain relief status with burst spinal cord stimulation.

Detailed Description

The study is a controlled trial with subjects that have an already-implanted SCS device (Eon Mini™) and are not satisfied with their pain relief status. As part of medical standard of care, patients with already-implanted Eon family tonic implantable pulse generators (IPGs) have the opportunity to experience burst stimulation for 30-Day Trial FDA approved. The aim of the study record patients experience during the 30-Day Trial using standard questionnaires.
