Comparison of the Effects of Two Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Therapies on Subject Reported Pain (BENEFIT-02)

The study population will consist of patients with chronic low back and/or leg pain who have been identified as candidates for trial testing of a commercially available SCS system including percutaneous SCS trial lead(s), but have not yet undergone trial lead implant. The commercial trial test period will be conducted independently from the study according to standard of care. The commercial trial period is referred to as the "trial" and the BENEFIT-02 interventional study stimulation period is referred to as the "study". Potential subjects will be identified by the investigator from their general patient population and must meet all of the study inclusion and none of the study exclusion criteria evaluated at the time of enrollment. Once study eligibility is confirmed, written informed consent is obtained, after which enrollment visit data will be collected. Subjects will be considered fully enrolled after being randomly assigned to receive one of two study SCS therapies. To participate in this study, subjects must be willing to undergo an extended 14 day testing period following the conclusion of their commercial trial, where their existing SCS trial lead(s) will be connected to a BIOTRONIK study stimulator and one of two randomly assigned study SCS therapies will be administered for an additional 12 days after a two day washout period. After completion of the 12 day study testing period, the subject's participation in the study ends, the study stimulator will be disconnected, and the commercial SCS trial lead(s) will be removed according to the standard clinical routine. This feasibility study includes the assessment of two primary endpoints and two secondary endpoints that are designed to provide preliminary information regarding the effectiveness and safety of the two study SCS therapies under investigation in the study.
