SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SPINAL CORD STIMULATION TRIAL

摘要

The present disclosure provides a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial system. The SCS trial system includes at least one rigid needle lead including a biocompatible conductor extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and insulation surrounding at least a portion of the biocompatible conductor, wherein the at least one rigid needle lead is configured to pierce the skin of a patient and be percutaneously implanted in the patient such that the distal end is proximate to at least one of a dorsal column, a dorsal root, dorsal root ganglia, and a peripheral nerve of the patient. The system further includes an external pulse generator (EPG) coupled to the at least one rigid needle lead and configured to apply electrical stimulation to the patient via the at least one rigid needle lead.
