Summary
This study aimed to understand how paresthesia-free spinal cord stimulation (PF-SCS) relieves chronic pain and affects sensation. Researchers planned to test 10 adults already using PF-SCS for chronic pain, comparing their usual settings to a lower-intensity program. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but the goal was to better match patients to this expensive therapy.
