Burst Neurostimulation for Discogenic Low Back Pain

The purpose of this prospective post market pilot study is to evaluate the effect of Burst Spinal Cord Stimulation(B-SCS) in the management of chronic discogenic pain in subjects who are refractory to other available treatments. Selected subjects will not be suitable candidates for lumbar spinal surgery and will meet the standard selection process for SCS as routinely utilized in the study centers. Results from this pilot study will inform current clinical practice and future comparative studies in this specific population. Eligible subjects for B-SCS will be asked to participate in this study. If they decide to participate, they will be treated with the Prodigy TM and Proclaim TM (Abbott Laboratories) SCS system and prospectively followed for 12 months following implantation.
