Abstract

Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is the most common neuropathic syndrome seen in persons with diabetes and is accompanied by pain in the feet and lower legs by the typical ‘glove and stocking’ pattern of distribution. Patients can experience a variety of symptoms, including prickling or tingling, burning, shooting, or stabbing pain or unusual sensations, which can interfere with sleep and quality of Life (QoL) leading to reduced activity levels, depression and social isolation1. Literature has demonstrated that conventional Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for painful DPN of the lower extremities, showing significant benefits of pain relief and improved QoL2,3,4. New stimulation paradigms may offer additional options for DPN patients. The purpose of this study is collecting real-world data on pain, QoL, stimulation paradigms, sleep, and activity.
