Clinical Trial Summary

Prospective, multi-center, randomized, single blind study


Description:

This clinical investigation compares success rates for anatomically placed leads to conventional, targeted lead placement for BurstDR™ during the trial evaluation period with the St Jude Medical™ Invisible Trial System. Subjects will be blinded to treatment group and randomized in a 1:1 ratio as follows: Group 1 (AB): anatomic lead placement followed by BurstDR™ stimulation during an initial trial evaluation period Group 2 (TB): targeted lead placement followed by BurstDR™ stimulation during an initial trial evaluation period If the subject qualifies for permanent system implant according to pre-defined criteria after the initial trial evaluation period, the subject will exit the clinical investigation and continue their treatment per the physician's standard of care. Subjects who do not qualify for permanent system implant according to pre-defined criteria after the initial trial evaluation period may participate in an extended trial evaluation period, per physician discretion, during which they will be programmed with tonic stimulation. Subjects continuing to an extended trial evaluation period will be followed through the completion of the extended trial period. At the end of the extended trial evaluation period, subjects will exit the clinical investigation.

Other Programming Time Needed for Each Randomized Group The programming time observed for both randomized groups Trial system implant
Other Change From Pre-implant Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in Each Randomized Group to End of Initial Trial Evaluation Period Subjects were interviewed using the pain NRS scale consisting of 1 question and were asked to rate their average pain specific to the area(s) of chronic pain being treated over the past 24 hours on a 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain) scale. A higher score indicates a higher pain level. From pre-implant to end of initial trial evaluation period, 3 to 5 days of BurstDR stimulation

Primary Qualification Rate for Permanent System Implant at the End of the Initial Trial Evaluation Period The primary endpoint is the qualification rate for permanent system implant at the end of the initial trial evaluation period.
Qualification for permanent system implant was defined by a composite where all the following conditions were met:
= 50% patient reported pain relief (PRP) at the end of the trial evaluation
Trial evaluation period lasted for a minimum of 3 days
Physician recommends subject for permanent system implant
Subject reports a willingness to pursue a permanent system implant
Subjects did not qualify for permanent system implant if they met both of the following:
< 50% PRP (patient reported pain relief) at the end of the trial evaluation
Trial evaluation period lasted for a minimum of 5 days
From pre-implant to end of initial trial evaluation period, 3 to 5 days of BurstDR stimulation
Secondary Rate of Physician Preference for Anatomic Placement Versus Targeted Placement at the End of the Study The physician preference for placement of leads was noted by giving them the option of choosing which lead placement technique they preferred - anatomic or targeted lead placement technique. From pre-implant to end of initial trial evaluation period, 3 to 5 days of BurstDR stimulation
