Midline Versus Dorsolateral Spinal Cord Stimulation for Post-surgical Neuropathic Pain
Sponsor: Nova Scotia Health Authority
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if dorsolateral spinal cord stimulation (DL-SCS) can treat focal post-surgical, medically refractory neuropathic pain. The main question it aims to answer is: \- How does DL-SCS compare to traditional SCS and no treatment for treating post-surgical neuropathic pain? Participants will be asked to * trial combinations of stimulation across blocks of weeks (randomized cross-over) * rate their pain after each stimulation trial
