Abstract

Patients implanted with Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) devices can exhibit mixed pain (nociceptive: pain derived from non-neuronal tissue and nociceptor activation; or, neuropathic: pain derived from lesion or disease that satisfies established neurological diagnostic criteria), but may present as challenging cases given the potential heterogenous manifestation of their symptoms. A recent study now reports the discovery of a novel SCS methodology (FAST) capable of delivering therapeutic neurostimulation using a biphasic-symmetric waveform based on active recharge, sub-perception SCS that is capable of inducing analgesia within minutes.
