Official title

NAPS (Non-awake Versus Awake Placement of Spinal Cord Stimulators) Study for the Evaluation of Awake and Non-awake Methods of SCS Paddle Lead Placement

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The primary objective is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a non-awake implantation method (EMG neuromonitoring) of a SCS paddle lead as compared to an awake implantation method (with local anesthesia and patient feedback).This is a post-market, prospective, multicenter, parallel designed, non-randomized, non-blinded, 6-month study. A minimum of 50 patients will be implanted from up to 4 active sites, coordinated by a single lead investigator. Patients who have had a successful SCS trial and are indicated for permanent implantation will be approached to participate in this study prior to permanent implantation. Patients will be recruited and enrolled by physicians at any one of the involved sites. Each Investigator will only use one method (awake or non-awake) according to his/her typical practice. Patients will receive treatment from their enrolling physician.
