Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Persistent Back \+/\- leg pain for over 6 months
  • MRI or CT scan in the last 5 years
  • No other treatment available for treating the pain
  • Informed consent
  • The requirement of having a CT or MRI of the lumbosacral spine in the last 5 years is designed to screen rare situations where lumbar spine surgery may be indicated or likely to be indicated and potentially curative. An example is severe spinal canal stenosis. Leg pain from severe spinal canal stenosis should prompt a surgical assessment and possible surgical decompression in preference to a spinal cord stimulation trial. Another example is high grade spondylolisthesis where both back pain and leg pain can respond well to surgical treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Spinal surgery is required.
  • Contraindication to the procedure such as bleeding or immunological disorder that may increase risk of infection.
  • Severe psychological or psychiatric disorder.
  • Patients being treated as part of a workers compensation claim (participation in research studies is not permitted).
