Spinal cord stimulation

Clinical evidence

Robust clinical evidence on spinal cord stimulation (SCS)

We are committed to advancing SCS through high-quality robust clinical research on SCS indications using multiple stimulation waveforms, including low-dose, high-dose, tonic, and Differential Target Multiplexed™ spinal cord stimulation (DTM™ SCS).

Lower Limb

86%

of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain in the lower limbs reported treatment success after receiving SCS therapy for one year.^†,1

Upper limb pain

100%

of subjects with upper-limb were satisfied or very satisfied with DTM™ SCS at 12 months.²

Upper limb study

Back pain

2 RCTs

Medtronic conducted 2 randomized control trials (RCTs) that evaluated DTM™ SCS versus conventional stimulation.^3,4
