Back Pain Relief
DTM Spinal Cord Stimulation Using the Medtronic Intellis™ Platform Shows Superior Back Pain Relief Compared to Conventional SCS Therapy in an RCT
Three-month results showed 80% of patients with chronic back pain treated with DTM Spinal Cord Stimulation reported at least 50% pain relief, compared with 51% of patients treated with conventional SCS, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a widely used and accepted measure for pain intensity.1 Fifty-percent pain relief, as measured by VAS, is a recognized industry standard to define minimum therapy success.
