Brief Summary

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

24-SMI-2014 is a Randomised Controlled Trial with an optional one way cross-over comparing Conservative Medical Management (CMM) to treatment with the Axium neurostimulator + CMM. Subject population is chronic inguinal pain refractory to previous surgical intervention (neurectomy).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Subject is at least 18 years old
2. Subject is able and willing to comply with the follow-up schedule and protocol
3. Chronic inguinal pain following Pfannenstiel Incision or Open Inguinal Hernia Repair for at least 6 months
4. Previously undergone neurectomy procedure as a treatment for chronic inguinal pain
5. Minimum daily average baseline pain rating of 5 out of 10 in the inguinal area on an 11-point NPRS
6. Subject is able to provide written informed consent
8. Subject has been screened by a multi-disciplinary panel including the designated psychologist of the Máxima Medical Center and deemed suitable for implantation

Exclusion Criteria

1. Female subject of childbearing potential is pregnant/nursing or plans to become pregnant during the course of the Trial
2. Escalating or changing pain condition within the past month as evidenced by investigator examination
3. Subject has had injection therapy or radiofrequency treatment of a target neural structure within the past 3 months
4. Subject currently has an active implantable device including implantable cardioverter defibrillator, pacemaker, spinal cord stimulator or intrathecal drug pump
5. Subject is unable to operate the device
6. Subjects currently has an active infection
7. Subject has participated in another clinical investigation within 30 days
8. Subject has a coagulation disorder or uses anticoagulants that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes participation
9. Subject has a current or on going condition, which will probably require MRI investigation sometime in the following 2 years
10. Subject has had a spinal surgical procedure at or between vertebral levels T10-L2
11. Subject has been diagnosed with cancer in the past 2 years, except for skin malignancies.
