Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Neurostimulation device implantation

Experimental: Neurostimulation for chronic pain - Neurostimulation (spinal cord stimulation with or without peripheral nerve stimulation of the trunk) for chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs.


Treatment: Devices: Neurostimulation device implantation
Study subjects will undergo a screening-trial of neurostimulation using the Boston Scientific Corporation Precision Spectra neurostimulation system and may proceed to permanent implantation in the event of a successful screening trial.

Treatment will include spinal cord stimulation and may also include peripheral nerve stimulation, based upon the physician's subject-specific treatment plan.
