Spinal Cord Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Refractory Low Back Pain in Patients withFailed Back Surgery Syndrome.
This project will examine and compare two types of implantable patient leads,
one which is more minimally invasive vs. one which requires a more extensive surgical procedure. Medtronic will utilize
the data from this pilot study to determine the need and or value of conducting an International Multi-Centre Study.
Based on the clinical outcomes from this study, Medtronic will be better able to establish which type of medical specialists
will be needed to optimize patient care and assist physicians in the development of their programs. The results will provide
insight as to the need for more or less operating room time, as cost savings may be beneficial with either procedure when all
factors our considered.
