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 effectiveness of electrical stimulation (low levels of electricity) on low back pain. This study involves the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) system. The System delivers mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in the low back. The System includes up to four small wires (called "Leads") that are placed through the skin into the muscles in the low back. The wires attach to device(s) worn on the body that deliver stimulation (called Stimulators).

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

All study subjects will have up to 4 Leads placed in their low back, will use the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System, and will receive electrical stimulation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The SPRINT PNS System is a device which delivers mild electrical stimulation to the muscles in the low back. The System includes up to four small wires (called "Leads") that are placed through the skin into the muscles in the low back. The wires attach to device(s) worn on the body that deliver stimulation (called Stimulators). The PNS System was approved by the FDA for up to 60 days of use for the management of acute and chronic pain, including back pain.
