The Incidence of System and/or Procedure Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).
1 Participants

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 Month, 3 Months, and 6 months post system activation

Population: Out of the 13 treated patients, one device was explanted approximately after 3 weeks of treatment. Thus, safety analysis is given for 13 patients and the performance analysis report on 12 patients.

VAS score assessment at baseline and follow up visits was performed in two ways; 1. Pain Diary VAS score- the analysis was based on the pain diary, processing the average daily VAS scores over seven consecutive days. 2. Point VAS score- the analysis was based on the VAS score measurement recorded during the baseline visit and following 30 minutes stimulation at all follow up visits.Pain assessment by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as compared to baseline, post system activation. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain Scores on a scale \[0 - 10\], higher values represent a worse outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 Month, 3 Months, and 6 months post system activation

Population: Only 12 out of 13 patients completed the study. Thus, safety analysis is given for 13 patients and the performance analysis report on 12 patients.

Clinical success at 6 months post activation was further assessed by:Short-form McGill pain questionnaire. McGill pain questionnaire Scores on a scale Range \[0-60\] points, higher values represent a worse outcome.
