Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, correlation study in which the investigators aim to explore the relationship between subjective pain questionnaires and the AdaptiveStim accelerometer output.

Detailed Description

The aim of this research is to gather the necessary information relating to the patient his subjective self-report and the more objective information from the implanted IPG (RestoreSensor). Such subjective information can be gathered from the AdaptivStim output.

The main focus of this study is to explore the relationship between the subjective reporting of functional disability with the ODI, sleep quality with the Actiwatch and PSQI, pain intensity with the NRS-diary and the objective measurement of functional positions with the AdaptiveStim in patients receiving high density spinal cord stimulation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
DisabilityDisability will be measured at the second assessment namely 7 days after the first assessment

Disability will be measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire

AdaptiveStim outputThe change between baseline (T1) and the second assessment 7 days later (T1+7days)

The Implantable Pulse Generator contains a processor and accelerometer to record objective information about 7 functional positions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain diaryThree times every day (morning, afternoon and evening), during 7 days (from baseline assessment (T1) to second assessment (T1+7days))
Objective sleep quality will be measured using the Actiwatch spectrum plus (Respironics).Three times every day (morning, afternoon and evening), during 7 days (from baseline assessment (T1) to second assessment (T1+7days))

This compact and lightweight electronic device similar in size to a wristwatch is worn on the non-dominant hand, and measures and records sleep quality

Subjective sleep qualityDisability will be measured at the second assessment namely 7 days after the first assessment

Subjective sleep quality will be assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
