Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Baseline to 3 Months
To characterize changes in overall (back and leg) pain intensity. Pain will be assessed using a VAS (0-10 cm) with 0 cm meaning "no pain" and 10 cm meaning "worst pain imaginable". Overall pain is defined as a combination of back and leg pain, but not pain from other body parts. Subjects will be asked to report their average pain intensity that is related to their SCS device treatment "in the last 24 hours" by marking a line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represents their pain intensity.
Secondary Outcomes
- Programming Parameters: Pulse Width in Microseconds (µs)(12 Month)
- Programming Parameters: Amplitude (Intensity) in Milliamp (mA)(12 Month)
- Programming Parameters: Impedance Range in Ohms(12 Month)
- Programming Parameters: Frequency in Hertz (Hz)(12 Month)
