The Added Value of Subcutaneous Peripheral Nerve Field Stimulation Combined with SCS, as Salvage Therapy, for Refractory Low Back Pain Component in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Implanted Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study (CUMPNS Study) Based on 3D-Mapping Composite Pain Assessment

Abstract: While Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) provides satisfaction to almost 2/3 of Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome-Type 2 (PSPS-T2) patients implanted for refractory chronic back and/or leg pain, when not adequately addressed the back pain component, leaves patients in a therapeutic cul-de-sac. Peripheral Nerve field Stimulation (PNfS) has shown interesting results addressing back pain in the same population. Far from placing these two techniques in opposition, we suggest that these approaches could be combined to bet… Show more

“…When patients are experiencing SCS LoE over time, several options can be discussed in a multidisciplinary pain reassessment, such as lead revision [ 24 ] or Internal Pulse Generator (IPG) upgrade [ 18 , 19 , 24 , 37 , 39 , 40 ]. Thanks to recent advances in SCS hardware and programming technologies, patients can have access to various waveforms (standard rate, high frequency (HF), burst, high dose (HD)) [ 16 , 33 , 37 , 41 , 42 ] and tailored advanced targeting (multisource IPG) [ 17 , 18 ] of the chronic pain experienced by SCS-implanted patients [ 43 , 44 ].…”

“…), we could wonder if the potential new IPG, implanted following a positive lead trial, would not interfere with the other neurostimulation targets. Ongoing studies [ 53 ] and recent publications [ 24 ] consider this important question. We should note that one of the advantages of this new technology is to propose four channels of stimulation, with a multi-source generation of the current.…”

“…MAST allowed us to perform SCS surgical implantation under Target Controlled Intra-Veinous Anesthesia (TCIVA), making it possible to assess the patient intraoperatively with high-fidelity despite surgical lead invasiveness. Intra-operative testing using quantitive measurements of pain surface, pain intensity, pain typology, and paresthesia coverage was implemented through an interactive tactile interface specifically developed for this purpose [16, [29][30][31][32]. The mapping tool and software (Neuro-Mapping Locator TM / NML) provide novel indices to instantaneously assess / compare lead performance (percentage of pain area covered by paresthesia generated via SCS) and lead selectivity (percentage of paresthesia adequately overlapping painful territories) defining an "R index", with intraoperative objective data.…”

“…The first step towards the holy grail is to walk the extra mile for every patient, even for those who do not respond anymore to the initial paradigm. Salvage strategies and algorithms are gaining interest from researchers and clinicians [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Salvage therapy should not only consist of converting patients towards new paradigms but also introducing extra tools to regain freedom and independence in terms of patient empowerment.…”
