Quantitative Assessment of Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy After High Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation

The SCS implant will follow standard clinical practice for these FDA approved indications. Two percutaneous leads will be placed in the posterior spinal epidural space under radiographic guidance and attached to either an external stimulator (trial phase) or a subcutaneously implanted impulse generator (IPG). Intraoperative impedance testing will be performed to ensure electrical integrity. Patients with HF10 SCS will receive 30 µs pulses delivered at 10,000 Hz with amplitude adjusted to optimal analgesic response. Programming will occur postoperatively and as needed based on patient feedback in standard clinic visits. .
