Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) with Anatomically Guided (3D) Neural Targeting Shows Superior Chronic Axial Low Back Pain Relief Compared to Traditional SCS—LUMINA Study

Abstract

Our results suggest that 3D neural targeting SCS and its associated hardware flexibility provide effective treatment for both chronic leg and chronic axial low back pain that is significantly superior to traditional SCS.

Effects of Multiple Waveforms on Patient Preferences and Clinical Outcomes in Patients Treated With Spinal Cord Stimulation for Leg and/or Back Pain

“…Although a high proportion of patients preferred PB‐SS stimulation, having flexible systems with multiple waveforms available and precise pain‐targeting technology may help in the management of personalized therapy and tolerance to SCS. This consideration may be different in de novo patients, as reported in Refs.…”

Effects of Rate on Analgesia in Kilohertz Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation: Results of the PROCO Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Finally, simple bipoles were used in this study, but optimizing field shape may further improve therapy. Just as in paresthesia therapies, more advanced and flexible electrode combinations can significantly improve outcomes (57), so it can be speculated that the availability of such flexibility of electrode combinations may also further improve kilohertz frequency SCS outcomes.…”

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Trial Outcomes After Conversion to a Multiple Waveform SCS System

“…The Precision Spectra SCS System (Boston Scientific Corporation, Valencia, CA, USA) delivers stimulation from an ETS or implantable pulse generator with up to 32 electrodes on leads that are implanted in the epidural space of the spinal canal. The device delivers different amounts of current to each of up to 32 electrodes, assigned by a 3D neural targeting algorithm .…”
