Study Protocol: Single-Blinded, Controlled, Clinical Trial Evaluating the Feasibility of Spinal Cord Stimulation for Improving Neuropathic Pain and Rehabilitation Outcomes in Patients With Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury
Dual lead SCS may serve as a safe and viable treatment option for patients living with SCI. We anticipate patients who undergo SCS to have improved neuropathic pain and neurological function, with greater improvement in patients receiving longer SCS.
