Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
A Prospective, Multi-Center, Clinical Trial of 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation System in the Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain.
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a debilitating condition that often leads to disability and does not respond to conventional treatments. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of paresthesia-independent 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in subjects with CPP. ⋯ Paresthesia-independent stimulation with 10-kHz SCS reduced pelvic pain in subjects with CPP and was not associated with any unexpected AEs. While larger, controlled studies are needed, results of this study suggest that this therapeutic modality could potentially treat patients with CPP while improving their quality of life.
