Abstract

Burst spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has demonstrated superior relief from overall pain and a reduction in back and leg pain compared to traditional tonic neurostimulation therapies. However, nearly 80% of patients have 2 or more non-contiguous pain areas. This can affect the ability to effectively program stimulation and the long-term efficacy of therapy. Multiple BurstDR region programming is a new option to treat multi-site pain by interleaving stimulation at multiple areas along the spinal cord. This study aims to develop a method for programming SCS using EEG and EMG based biomarkers recorded via standard intraoperative neuromonitoring protocols.
