Prospective Evaluation of the Optimal SCS Trial Length
Sponsor: Ohio State University
Summary
This study aims to determine the ideal length of a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial period by analyzing daily pain scores, patient satisfaction, and when patients decide whether to proceed with permanent implantation. The primary goal is to identify the shortest trial duration that can reliably predict SCS success. A secondary goal is to compare SCS trial outcomes with patient-reported health measures (PROMIS domains) and recommendations from the SCS E-Health Tool to evaluate how well these tools predict treatment candidacy and outcomes.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Trial
This observational study will enroll approximately 42 subjects at The Ohio State University who are undergoing a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial as part of standard clinical care. No study-specific intervention will be assigned. Participants will be monitored to evaluate SCS trial outcomes, including pain scores, patient satisfaction, and decisions regarding permanent implantation. The sample size was selected to provide sufficient evaluable data while accounting for potential attrition and supporting descriptive and exploratory analyses.
