Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Conventional and Long Pulse Widths During a Temporary Spinal Cord Stimulation Trial (NCT NCT03526055)

NCT ID: NCT03526055

Last Updated: 2019-02-21

Results Overview

The study used a pain relief scale (similar to a brief pain inventory). The scale assessed pain relief using a percent relief rating in 10% increments, where a higher number represents greater pain relief than a lower number for the pain scale. A higher number is considered better for pain relief scale. The scale range is from 0%, which is no relief of pain to 100%, which is complete relief of pain. Subjects are asked to rate their pain by marking the box beside the number that best describes their pain in the last 24 hours.

Measure
<500 µS Pulse Width First, Then >1000 µS Pulse Width
Intervention includes spinal cord stimulation will be programmed to \<500 µS pulse width and patient will undergo an Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation System trial procedures. Following the trial procedure, the subject's EPG will be set to the appropriate pulse width, based on the arm assigned, and then programmed to achieve optimal pain relief. Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation System: The Algovita™ SCS system is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs, including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with failed back surgery syndrome, intractable low back pain and leg pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 8 days

Population: This information was not collected.

Subjects will be asked to rate their overall satisfaction with the pain relief achieved during the trial (from either arm) using the following scale; Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Neither Satisfied nor Unsatisfied, Unsatisfied or Very Unsatisfied

Outcome measures

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 8 days

Population: 10 patients in total, crossover design.

Number of patients who achieved ≥ 50% pain relief during the trial (from either arm). The study used a pain relief scale (similar to a brief pain inventory). The scale assessed pain relief using a percent relief rating in 10% increments, where a higher number represents greater pain relief than a lower number for the pain scale. A higher number is considered better for pain relief scale.
