Summary

Study designed to compare the conventional stimulation programming versus the high frequency stimulation programming of the spinal cord stimulator for subjects who already have a spinal cord stimulator.

Conditions

  • Chronic Pain
  • Low Back Pain
  • Radiculopathy
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Interventions

OTHER

High frequency stimulation

Implanted pulse generator of a spinal cord stimulator will programmed to deliver high frequency stimulation for pain relief. For our purposes, high frequency stimulation will be defined as 1000 hertz.

OTHER

Low frequency stimulation

Implanted pulse generator of a spinal cord stimulator will programmed to deliver low frequency stimulation for pain relief. Low frequency stimulation will be defined as conventional stimulation pulse generator programming.
