Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of frequency settings on spinal cord stimulation in the management of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (SCS Frequency Study).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prospective, single-center, double-blinded, randomized crossover of 4 different stimulation frequencies: sham, 1200 Hz, 3030 Hz, and 5882 Hz.
