简要总结
The specific aims of this proposal are to:
Examining the effects of dorsal column stimulation on pain from lumbar spinal stenosis related to lumbar epidural lipomatosis. The primary outcome will be improvement in VAS score of combined back and leg pain at 6 weeks follow-up. Secondary outcomes will include improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) back pain scores, VAS leg pain scores, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) , as well as SCS complication rate.

结局指标
主要结局
VAS-Visual Analog Scale- score of combined back and leg pain at 6 weeks follow-up.
时间窗: 6 weeks
0 meaning No Pain, 10 being worst possible pain. Higher pain means worse outcome.
次要结局
- Change in VAS-Visual Analog Scale- score of low back pain.(6 months, 12 months)
- Change in VAS-Visual Analog Scale - score of leg pain score(6 months, 12 months)
- Change in Oswestry Disability Index.(6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months)
