Brown Adipose Tissue Activation by Spinal Cord Stimulation

A second electrode will be placed percutaneously by Tuohy needle in the epidural space at the same time as the SCS trial implant; at lateral T1-2 area randomly assigned to the left or right side of the lateral epidural space, at the time of the procedure. Placement of electrodes is not experimental, but the placement of a second electrode is a research-driven procedure.
