Subcutaneous Stimulation as Add on Therapy to SCS toTreat Low Back Pain in FBSS

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) and subcutaneous (SubQ) stimulation SCS trial stimulation: Implantation of the Octad lead in the epidural space. The lead implantation in the epidural space is performed under local anesthesia using a standard percutaneous technique. A key element to the technical success of an SCS procedure is the accurate placement of the lead, which results in paresthesia covering the patients' painful areas. This depends on the patients' feedback during intra-operative testing. Therefore, it is important that the patient is awake and fully cooperative during the trial stimulation.
