Abstract

Chronic refractory back pain has a major negative impact on mental health and quality of life (QOL), and a high societal cost in terms of lost productivity and health care utilization (HCU)1. Few treatment options exist for chronic back pain patients who have failed conventional medical management (CMM) and who have not had and are not candidates for back surgery2, a condition we refer to as non-surgical refractory back pain (NSRBP). The objective of this multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to produce evidence comparing 10kHz-SCS plus CMM (10kHz-SCS+CMM) to CMM alone for treatment of NSRBP in terms of clinical- and cost-effectiveness.
