Prospective Evaluation of the Optimal SCS Trial Length

This study aims to determine the ideal length of a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial period by analyzing daily pain scores, patient satisfaction, and when patients decide whether to proceed with permanent implantation. The primary goal is to identify the shortest trial duration that can reliably predict SCS success. A secondary goal is to compare SCS trial outcomes with patient-reported health measures (PROMIS domains) and recommendations from the SCS E-Health Tool to evaluate how well these tools predict treatment candidacy and outcomes.
