Abstract
Lead migration is the most common hardware-related complication in spinal cord stimulation (SCS) [1, 2], with published incidence rates of 13%-23% [1, 2]. Historically, paddle leads were thought to have a lower risk of migration compared with percutaneous leads [3-6]. However, the incidence of clinically significant lead migration is likely to have reduced with modern surgical techniques and new SCS modalities, although data are limited. The objective of this retrospective review was to provide up-to-date evidence of the incidence of clinically significant lead migration in patients permanently implanted with percutaneous leads and a 10 kHz SCS device.
